Dingell was hospitalized in September from a heart attack and entered hospice care around February, according to sources close to the family.
He was married to current Rep. Debbie Dingell for nearly 40 years. She succeeded his position. He referred to her as his “lovely Deborah.”
“To all our friend. My heart is broken,” Debbie Dingell shared. “My true love is gone. The tears are flowing pretty freely as I miss the man that made me whole. One can know it is coming, but nothing prepares you for the whole in your heart. He was my one and only true love. Know he loved everyone of you and was proud to call you friend. D2.”
