Roy passed away the day after my birthday, so every time I celebrate another year of life, I am reminded of Roy. He was a kind, quiet, and dear man and a perfect match with his love, Linda. I only wish I had the privilege of having known him longer and better than I did and I believe that I will have that blessing someday.

Over 12 years have gone by since Roy passed away. I will always remember his kind heart and gentle soul. I truly felt the loss of a good friend and I look forward to the day when I can again be with him.

My condolences to the Beale family. I've known Roy through the British Motor Club of Utah, and I will miss his wit, advice, and considerable experience. His had a real passion for Brit cars and he was always willing to share his knowledge. I especially enjoyed seing him at club events and how he'd always remember and ask about my car. I will miss him. Again, my condolences.

Dad,
I love you and miss you so much already. Thanks for always being there for me and helping me through some of the toughest times in my life. I will miss our heart to heart talks, all your great advice, your hugs and kisses, your smile, your laughter, your stories and your silly jokes. Most of all I will miss you! I love you dad and I will keep you in my heart always.
Your Jenny-ren.

Linda and Family,
There is always a sense of being inadequate at times of such great loss. Roy’s passing was so unexpected and leaves many thoughts and feelings unexpressed. Through the years that I have known the Beale family, Roy has always been polite and pleasant. He would share his life experience and insight to all who would lend a listening ear. I found him to be honest and open, always generous and committed to a high standard of workmanship and quality. His attention to detail and persistence that the job be “done right” stands out as a, “Roy Beale standard of excellence”. I am grateful to have known Roy and look forward to meeting him again, sometime, somewhere. I hope that those who miss him the most will be comforted by happy memories and the healing that comes from sharing the good times you had together.

To the Family of Roy Beale,
I was saddened by the news that "Uncle Roy" passed away. I have many happy memories of going to the Beale's, we always loved every chance we had to be with them. The years have passed by, but I can still see in my minds eye, that little twinkle in his eye as he told us a funny story or the latest joke. We will greatly miss him, but still smile whenever we talk about him. My thoughts and prayers are with you, all my love.

Kimberli & family-
We are so sorry to hear about Roy. Always looked forward to seeing he and your mom at Haydens birthday parties each year. I remember meeting him in the hospital when the boys were born, such a nice, gentle man. I know you will all truly miss him. Our thoughts are with you and your mom especially.

To the wife and family of my only Uncle Roy~
Well.... technically, he wasn't my Uncle. My Dad; Bert is an only child and Roy is his cousin. But, we were raised knowing him as "Uncle Roy". We absolutely loved him as kids and as we grew up, we wanted our kids to know and love him too. I cant help but smile through damp eyes when I think of him. He will be deeply missed by my family. My condolences.

Rest in peace my friend Roy. He was one of the finest gentlemen I have had the pleasure to know. I got to know Roy over 20 years ago when I purchased a Triumph sports car. Over the years, Roy took good care of my car - up until recently actually. I enjoyed his stories and the experiences he shared about these little british cars that he and I both loved. He was a remarkable mechanic and I will miss his advice and expertise but mostly I will miss his presence in my life. Reading the other entries further proves what a good and decent man he was. My condolences to Roy's family. He will be missed by many but not soon forgotten.

To Tony and Bunny and all who knew and loved Roy...I remember Roy as soft spoken and just an easy person to be around. I remember earlier days when Mom and Dad and all of us would go over and shoot the breeze or darts:) and just enjoy all being together. Sure was a lot of laughter. Some things change but memories last a life time. I remember the good things and the good times. I am so sorry for your loss and my love and prayers are with you.

Dearest Linda and family, We never thought we would reach this point in our lives. I have thought of you continually since I received your call yesterday. I am sure your Mom is watching over you through this time. We enjoyed listening to Roy talk about England and loved listening to his accent. We are thankful that Roy is out of the body that caused him so much pain but we sorrow that you are left alone. What would we do without our children? I am so thankful that you have such kind loving children. I wished we were able to travel to be with you but for now we send our love and our prayers. I have put your name in the Rexburg Temple so you will have the prayers of many. We love you

Grandpa Roy
You really were the best Grandpa Hayden could have ever asked for. Hayden loved all of the quality time you and Mom spent playing with him with stuffed animals, trains, art, etc, etc. and your trips up to see Thomas the Train. He loved the sleepovers when you guys all camped out in the frontroom & made pancakes for breakfast. You were his very favorite!!! I only wish he could have spent more years getting to know what a great man you really were. Your life was definitely cut short. Ryan loved all of the advice and knowledge you shared with him. Just last night he was wishing he could hear just one more of your stories. I loved how much you loved my Mom and she you. You could always tell how much in love you two were. We were really looking forward you you living so near by so we could see you more often. We miss you so much already and will always love you and think of you often.
Kimberli, Ryan and Hayden

I feel at a loss to adequately express myself. I have known Roy for over 35 years, but only really got to know him well this past year. There are so few people that really understand the supreme value of kindness ahead of all other attributes. Roy understood and lived his life in that manner. I feel I have been robbed of the association of a true and gentle friend. I will cherish, especially the memories of late, when he shared with me the events of his amazing life. Those who can call him husband, father, grandpa, and friend have truly been blessed. All my sympathy goes to all those who loved him so. He was such an easy man to love.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Roy,
Though I only met you once, the memory will last my life time. I wish I had said to you then, "Thank you for your son Mike and your wonderful family." May the Lord bless all of you in your days ahead and keep you laughing when you remember Roy as a husband, father, grandfather and friend. "GOD SPEED ROY"
Love to all of you,
