Our Brother, Billy

Today, this world lost a very special man. Bill Berube (affectionately known to us as Brother Billy) died this afternoon. Bill is the husband of Tony's sister, Pam, but he's much more than just an in-law. He's our brother. Bill and Pam have a son, Kyle, who I know will also miss his dad terribly.

What can I possibly say to sum up the man Bill was? He was a devoted father, a caring husband, a friend to everyone, and a genuine and kind person. We shared the same taste in books and crosswords, and all of us shared a huge affection for Vermont, lake Memphremagog, and red cups (Pam knows). It is almost beyond belief that Bill is gone from this world. He will live in my heart forever and ever. We love you, Brother Billy. We will miss you very much, and we will never, ever forget you.
