I remember him from Travis AfB in the 60s.
Such a nice man. He was my friend's father that none of us kids feared. One remembers the little things. The good things. The important things.
Peace to all.

I was just browsing the net and stumbled upon this info. I had the honor of working for him at 21st AF, McGuire. He was the best boss ever. I was just a young airman then but to know who I was working for was such an honor. Even brought me 2 beautiful wooden handmade jewelry boxes from visit to Iraq/Iran with with Colonel Farzad. He had my name engraved in them. I also had the pleasure of meeting Priscilla on one of her many visits home. Oh the stories he used to tell us in the office. What a funny funny person. It was an honor sir. May you rest in peace with the angels. My belated condolences to the whole family.

I'm late but just found out today that Lt. Colonel had passed away. I had the honor of serving with him at 21st AF, and was fortunate enough to spend some time with him and Ann at their home in Los Angles after my retirement and was living there after my retirement. Both Ann and Paul were extremely gracious people, and I will pray that Ann and family find peace and comfort and know you will always be in our thoughts and prayers.

God bless,

Dearest Anne and family ,
I have never known a day without the Beaulieu s being a part of my families life .. Joe was my Dad's sponsor as he became a catholic in the early part of their Air Force careers they flew B29s together and my mom and Ann alternated having children until each had 6 . The twins born just after myself . I have always said Michelle is the only Michelle Older than myself and both Dads had to change our BC for spelling errors the same one lol . The last time we visited Anne and her Paul was just after the death of my mother in Feb of 2014 . My parents too were married 67 years .. That day as two 90 year old men talked for hours of a life time of memories of firsts in Air Force history I only wished I had tape recorded it all . Neither wanted the day to end both needed a tiny nap but they continued on after lunch . As Joe waved goodbye at his fence with such a huge smile .. he said Goodbye my friend . I cried then am crying now because I knew then they would probably not see each other again with my dad living in Reno but realizing how amazing their friendships had been between the 4 of them and today I wish only love and prayers for Anne and the entire family as this is so hard even when you have been blessed to have had a 7 decade love story and a beautiful family it is still hard to say goodbye .
Thank you Col Beaulieu for all you have been to my life and more importantly to my parents . We love all of you so very much .
Love michele neal maconachy
