I worked for Don and his wife 13 yrs. ago and I remember them being so much in love. Having just lost my husband this past September with three young children myself, I can empathize with the pain and despair all of you are sure to be feeling. My heart goes out to your family. You all were so kind. Don't try to take one day at a time, just take one minute at a time, May Angels surround you all through this difficult season. Sincere condolences....

To The Roberge Family

Jim and I were totally shocked and deeply saddened to hear that our accountant and friend passed away. For 7 years Don has taken care of our tax needs and always answered any question I asked him. He was a friend to us and he will be deeply missed.

To the Roberge family. We are sadden and express our heart felt sympathy for the passing of Don. There was not a time that either we called him or he called us that we didn't laugh. Don always joked "you can leave the expensive vehicles you repossessed at my house, as long as you leave the keys on the floor for me". His phone calls to us always started "I don't see any BMW's in my driveway". These little things are the way we want to remember Don. To the children, "your dad loved you and loved to brag about you". To his wife, he loved you very much and always spoke very highly of you. Don will never be forgotten not only as a client but as a great friend.

Although I never got to meet Mr. Roberge in person. I was always glad to hear his voice on the phone. He would sometimes call just to make sure everything was all set with the house so that you wouldn't have to do anything there. He always wanted to make sure that you could have a relaxed time. I wish I could have met him. He seemed like such a nice man that cared deeply for his family. May you know that my parents (Joe and Rita Beauchain)April and I are here for you if you ever needed anything.

God Bless you and I am truely sorry for your loss.
