SALEM, N.H. (WHDH) - Family and friends of Robert DeCesare saying their final goodbye Friday at his funeral in Salem, New Hampshire.
DeCesare, 59, was having dinner with his wife and daughter at the Sky Meadow Country Club in Nashua when a gunman opened fire inside the restaurant. DeCesare was killed protecting his family; his mother said her son lunged at the shooter.
“We’re getting through this one minute at a time. That’s what we’re doing, one minute at a time,” said Lisa Querci, DeCesare’s sister.
DeCesare leaves behind a wife and three children, including a daughter who is set to be married in November.
Two others were wounded in the attack, including Brianna Surette.
Surette’s husband said the couple were married at the country club nearly five years to the day she was shot.
In a statement, Surette wrote, “We never imagined our beautiful memories from that day would be hit with such a tragic event. Although Brianna’s physical injuries will heal, the mental toll will take time.”
Authorities have identified the alleged shooter as Hunter Nadeau, 23. He is charged with second-degree murder.
