To all of the Eldreds; Ohio and Somerville

Sorry to hear of George's passing. I've only learned of this quite suddenly from his nephew Joe in Ohio. Unfortunately, Joe's dad, Bill, George's brother, has also passed away. I will always remember lots of wild and crazy times with George, Joe, and Bill as we traveled between Somerville, North Reading, Maine, and Ohio. I have not spoken to George or Bill since I left the Boston area 12 years ago. I only hope that in their death they find peace. They're all too young to be gone. However, now George, Bill, Joe, Vernon, Elizabeth, Tom, Anna, Doris and many other Beals' and Eldreds are together once again. I hope they're all having one hell of a good time, wherever they are. Again, my
condolences and thoughts are with you all. Feel free to contact me if the need arises.
