Donald "Don" Berube, 76, of West Yarmouth, died Saturday, August 19,2017 at Cape Cod Hospital from lung cancer.  He was the husband of Pamela Berube for 52 years.

Born in Fall River in 1940, Don grew up in Riverside, RI and attended East Providence High School.  He served in the U.S. Navy where he was stationed on a radar picket ship.  Following his discharge from the Navy, Don continued his education in St. Louis, learning more about diesel mechanics. He was then employed at Hans Berndt Tractor Company, and Caterpillar and finally started his own company, D & R Repair Service, where he specialized in repairing heavy construction equipment for over 30 years.

When he finally retired in 2005, he was able to enjoy his love of deep sea fishing.  He fished the waters of RI, then Cape Cod and finally Florida as well as many other areas.  His biggest love was tuna fishing but he would settle for other fish when tuna were not available.

Don lived in Rehoboth, MA and later on Cape Cod in the summer and Port St. Lucie, FL in the winter.

In addition to his wife, Pamela, Don is survived by his son, Steven Berube and his wife, Lesley, and their children, Amelia and Marah, his son Bradford, his twin brother, Ernest Berube and his wife, Dolores, of Johnston, RI.   Don also had a brother, James Berube of Riverside, RI and sister, Barbara Darling and husband, Roger, of Bristol, RI, and an older sister, Nancy Koehler, wife of Paul Koehler, who resided in Bradenton, FL, who passed away last year.

A memorial service will be held on Saturday, September 30, 2017 at 10:00 A.M. in the Hallett Funeral Home, 273 Station Ave., South Yarmouth, MA.

In lieu of flowers contributions in his memory may be made to a charity of one’s choice.
