CELEBRATION OF LIFE

Today we celebrated the Life of my brother: Richard P Beyer. He was born Jan 30, 1936. That was seven years before me and a real long time ago. The Celebration was put together by Janice, his wife, at their local Church. We, Lois & I, joined Janice and Friends from the St Petersburg area for a very nice tribute.

My brother was a Fisherman by choice, and an Engineer by trade. On occasion He brought the wrong tool to a job, and occasionally forgot to use bait on his hook. The picture shows that he could switch gears easily and get a substitute bait inside the fishie in order to bring it home.

His memory will provide many smiles, and happy moments to recall as our lives go forward.

 

RICHARD BEYER, 87, PASSES IN FLORIDA

Richard Beyer fought a difficult battle with Kidney Disease and was frequently a patient at local St Petersburg hospitals this year. Only a couple weeks before passing in his sleep, on Sep 20, He said, "I am going to beat this thing."

He was born in New Jersey and was a graduate of West Side H.S, and Fairleigh Dickinson University. He was employed for 25 years by the State of N.J. as a Civil Engineer. 

Richard is survived by his wife Janice. They were married for 35 years. He also is survived by Brother Dennis of Naples; Children Debbie of Maui and Richard Jr of Montville, NJ.

He will be buried in N.J. at Restland Cemetery in Hanover.
