Br. Eustace was a beloved brother and an admired mentor. Although gentle by nature, he was a champion for equality among the brothers and a fierce defender of justice. He had an amazing memory for details, which he would recall in his frequent letters. His letters were legendary for the way he covered every square centimeter of the paper. Rest in peace, my friend. You will be missed.
