Memories and Condolences
for Michael Beckerman

Not sure what to say?





To the Beckerman family, I was saddened to learn of Michael's passing. Please accept my sincere condolences.
Michael and I spent many good times together growing up in Hull-neighborhood sports, cub scouts, his mother Barbara was our den mother,summer camp in Cape Cod,DeMolay. We doubled for Junior and Senior Prom.
After high school graduation we lost contact. My parents were friends with Michael's parents and my mother periodically filled me in with Mike's accomplishments- becoming a nurse and then a nurse anesthetist, buying an old house.
Mike was a good friend, easy going ,mild mannered,kind hearted and fun to be with.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
