Mrs. B, Mike & Debbie,
I am so sorry for your loss. Mr. B was a great guy and was always one of the "cool" dads when we were growing up. He will be missed by all.

As a cub reporter who covered Charlton for the Southbridge Evening News 10 years ago, Bob Beaudette was a constant source -- of news and of laughs. I always enjoyed standing outside Town Hall with him after a selectmen's meeting to get his unique take on how the meeting went. We had so many great laughs together, but he also provided enormous insight into the Charlton community, her history, her politics, and her people. The passion he showed for his town was incredible, and I'll never forget him. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

Bev,
My thoughts and prayers are with you in your loss. Bob was one man that I will never forgot. He did so much for Charlton, and was a great Chairman of the Elderbus. He taught me many things that I have carried with me for years. Bev, you were a great wife and sole mate to Bob. Always cherish those memories.

I would like to express my deepest sympathies the my Aunt Beverly and my cousins Debbie and Michael. I remember as a little girl I used to call Uncle Bob, "Elvis" because he reminded me of him. I called him Elvis for years after. He did alot for his family and the town of Charlton. He has certainly earned his wings and soars with the other Angels of God up in heaven.
