## Resource

Eric Devos, beloved owner of the historic Sign of the Kiwi cafe in Christchurch, passed away last month — and the cafe itself became his final farewell. A man who turned a van into a coffee cart after earthquakes, handcrafted every table, and turned strangers into family with his boundless warmth, Eric lived his dream in New Zealand since 2002. His wife called him her rock and joy; his daughters remember his unwavering belief in them and his gift for making everyone feel at home. Eric’s legacy? A life lived loud with love, laughter, and kindness — proof that simple pleasures and human connection are the greatest gifts of all.
