We will never forget dear Uncle Beans. His "bottom of the gut laugh", colourful language, exaggerated stories and his little boy smirk will always be a part of any family function. He brought much laughter, joy and love to his entire family. We will miss him very much. Love Monica & Bob Ostrom

Uncle Beans I love you and I miss you. You always treated me so nice. I loved growing up with you and having you for an uncle. When my dad was on the road driving truck you took me to the hospital and you would take me to football games. I remember Country Music, sleigh rides, and the French Toothlees Choir. You will be in my heart and thoughts everyday. Love you.
