    Farewell friend. I’m so sorry to see a good soul like you leave this Earth. You were a good man, a friend, a brother of Bill W., an important contributor to our local community, and a great dad. I will miss seeing you around town and at the soccer fields. May you Rest In Peace. Laura, please let me know if there is anything that I can do to help. Very Sincerely,
    Chris Comeau
