Greg and family - Please accept our deepest condolences in the loss of your father. Though the time that we spent with him was minimal (7th grade CLBL), it became obvious through my conversations with him that he was passionate about his family, and that he was dedicated to sharing his love for and vast knowledge of sports with today's youth through CLBL. It won't be the same not seeing him by your side on the basketball court next season. May memories bring comfort, and may time bring healing to your family.
Gary "for real" Beal, a good friend that will be missed by all. Garyisms...No one can hit this "palm ball". So poor he couldn't pay attention. I couldn't eat another thing, pass me the bread.
He was one of a kind. The entire Beck Family sends our love to all of the Beal Family.
Dan - Thinking of you, your kids, your Mom and the rest of your family. Your Dad was very fun to talk to at soccer games (along with your Mom) - smiling and laughing and a joy to be around. I know your Dad will be missed by many. Please take care. Love - Shirl and Ashley
We are very saddened by Gary's passing. When we arrived into the area, he greeted us with all the kindness of his heart. This is how we met. One day last summer, when we had just moved in and were going thru a very hectic time, he drove up to our house in a tractor, and offered to mow our lawn to help us. We were very touched by his kind gesture to help complete strangers, but then quickly realized even more what a wonderful and caring person and a neighbor he was - we asked how big of a job that was and he said that it would take him about three hours to do it. We would always remember his sincere readiness to help people around him, and how he made us realize that were now a part of a new friendly community. We always felt safe knowing that Gary was right across the street caring deeply about the whole neighborhood.
Gary was very friendly, always able easily to connect and communicate with people around him. He will be missed dearly.
Our thoughts and prayers go to his family.
Boris and Natalie Richard.
