Dustin was one of a kind and I can honestly say I have never met anyone who had a heart as big as his. Blaise saw Dustin not only as a coworker and friend, but as a brother. Although he may be gone from this world, the countless stories about him will keep his memory alive for everyone who knew him. I think there may be a new mantra for Blaise and I, and it goes like this; "What would D do?". That man lived his best life, and did it to the fullest. If this and any loss that touches our lives teaches us, is to live to the fullest, like D would do.

You will be missed Dustin and I thank you for your friendship and care.
Your friends in this life and the next, Jeannine & Blaise Saucier
