John Berube Obituary
Greenfield, MA - John "Jack" Berube passed away on December 26th, 2023 at Baystate Springfield Hospital. Loved by all he came in contact with, Jack was known for his quick wit and extensive knowledge of his generation's pop culture. He had a passion for going for a drive and seeing where the road would take him, often exploring places such as the Green River, the Hoosac Tunnel, and lesser known areas of the Berkshires and Southern Vermont. An avid catch-and-release fisherman he loved and respected nature, especially it's local wonders. His younger years included many miles on his motorcycle, and at least one cross country road trip. He is pre-deceased by both parents, Mary and Donald Berube (Florence) as well as both of his brothers, Richard Berube (Northampton) and Kenneth Berube (Amherst). He is survived by his two sisters, Donna Hutchinson (Feeding Hills) and Pamela Dickinson (Whately) as well as his three nieces and thier spouses, and one nephew. Forever the fun uncle of the family, he also had two great-nieces and two great-nephews that he very much enjoyed spending time and playing with.
