Eileen and family - There are no words to describe the loss you have suffered. Beef was a wonderful person. I feel like he should still be the morning greeter at the Juke Box. He was just an all around good person and will be sadly missed. God Bless you and may your memories help lessen the pain. Sincerely, Lynn Wagner Burkett

I had the pleasure of working with Beef for 10 years at Drug Plastics. I have so many great memories of so many great laughs with him. Simply put, to know Beef was to love Beef. I was deeply sorrowed to hear of his passing, but I am very happy that I got to spend a few moments talking and laughing with him just a few weeks back. The world has lost one of it's finest people, but heaven has gained a warm-hearted, amazingly funny angel. The thoughts and prayers of my family are with the Haring family during these tough times. May you find comfort in the fact that Beef brought so much joy into the lives of others. I know that he surely did mine. God Bless you all and Beef!

We remember Beef as a kind, funny, friendly and caring person. My earliest memory of him was at Alf's annual picnic playing softball in his shorts, hitting the ball a mile and always laughing and enjoying life and people. Whenever I saw him he would always talk with me, have some type of story or a joke to tell. He was always one of those people who would make you feel welcome and accept you for the person you are, and to you and the boys please accept our heartfelt sympathy
