- It is with sadness that the family of the late Willy Brovig, age 77, announced his passing December 18, 2013 at his home in Beachside, Newfoundland.
Willy T. Brovig was born on April 7th, 1936 in Lillesand, Norway to Martin & Astrid Brovig. He was a Sailor since the age of 15 until one fateful day he found love in the harbor town of Botwood, NL where he met his wife Linda. "Love at first sight" he said, and from then on his life changed forever. His new life took him first out west to BC but eventually settled in Toronto where he raised three children, Chris, Martin & Melissa. His life on the water did not end in Botwood. He continued as a ships repairman in Toronto until he started his own Millwright company which he had until his retirement. Willy worked hard his entire life, never stopping. He laughed with his whole heart and he was a generous soul who would always be willing to lend a helping hand to anyone who asked. Willy was a sailor at heart, settling by the sea in Beachside where he was only a stone''s throw from the ocean. He loved the sea, for this was where he was most at home and where he wanted to rest. Heave away dear Willy, dear husband, dear father, dear friend. You will be missed. He was pre-deceased by his mother, Astrid; father, Martin; brother, Eivind. Left to Mourn are his wife,Linda Brovig;daughter, Melissa Brovig; sons, Christopher Brovig & Martin Brovig; grandchildren, Benjamin Brovig, Robert Melanson, & Paige Vandette; brother, Bjarne Brovig,
