Honor Paul's Legacy: contribute to Max's education fund

Dear Friends and Family,

We are heartbroken to share that our dear friend Paul Brochert passed away too soon, at the age of 51, after a courageous battle with pancreatic cancer. Diagnosed just after his 50th birthday, Paul fought valiantly against this devastating illness, making countless trips to London and Toronto for tests and treatments. Throughout this journey, his love for his family and friends shone brightly, and he remained determined to stay with us for as long as possible.

In his final days, Paul chose to spend his time at home, surrounded by the warmth and support of family and friends. A constant stream of loved ones gathered around his bedside, sharing memories and saying their goodbyes. It was on the morning of November 20th that Paul peacefully passed away in his sleep, accompanied by the soothing strumming of a ukulele played by a dear friend.

Paul was a remarkable man who touched the lives of so many. As we honor his memory, we want to support his beloved son Max, who deserves a bright future. Over the past 20 months, the family has faced significant hardship and adversity. We want to focus on supporting their children at this time.

In respecting Paul's wishes, there will not be a funeral service. In Lieu of flowers or other gifts, the family is requesting donations to the Canadian Cancer Society in Paul's name, or a contribution to Max's Education Fund.

As a tribute to Paul, and to honor Paul’s legacy, please consider donating to this education fund for Max, to help ease the burden. We believe this would be a beautiful tribute to Paul, reflecting his love and commitment to his family.

We kindly ask for your support during this difficult time. Any contribution, no matter how small, will make a meaningful impact and help us reach our goal. Together, we can ensure that Max has the resources he needs to pursue his dreams, just as Paul would have wanted.

Thank you for your kindness and generosity. Let's come together to celebrate Paul’s life and support his family in this time of need.

With love and gratitude,

Bridget R and Charmaine V
