BERLIN — Tim Beaulac, born and brought up as a North Country boy, passed away last week after battling kidney cancer. A true loss for not only his family and friends but all of us here in the Berlin area. I didn't know him as personally as many of you, but I did know him through his wife, Mary Lou, who has been a friend since our days at Berlin High School (1967). He was always very friendly, polite and a pleasure to be around.

With Mary Lou's permission, I began to put together a short tribute to Tim's life until I started asking questions, first from my brother Keith, who informed me among other things that Tim was the manager of the Berlin High football team which Keith played on; was a weight lifter; an Eagle Scout and worked part-time with him at Bryant's Funeral Home.
