Betty Beryl Falcone

Mrs. Falcone wili be remembered for many things, but especially for her years and years of support to the MSU music school and alumni band. She was also very gracious. Cece, I still have a Christmas tablecloth that your Mom and Dad gave us a wedding present 46 years ago! Will always remember your Mom and Dad fondly.

Goodbye, dear lady. I will remember you fondly. Rita Griffin Comstock

Beryl was such a wonderful person with great energy, love for music and vision for carrying on the fantastic tradition of the Falcone Fetival. I remember my time with her fondly and know that she has helped to truly shape the world of the euphonium.

I first met Beryl in 1956 as a member of the MSU bands abs she accompanied Leonard. She was quite a person and energetic.
Inhad the pleasure of working closer with her when I was public relations Director for the Alumi Bands. Beryl will be missed. May she rest in peace.

"I had met Dr. Leonard Falcone at the MidWest Band Clinic in 1971. In 1989 I was invited to the Falcone Solo Competition as an adjudicator. Beryl was a very kind hostess for the guests and serve the competition admirably. She talked to me a lot about her husband, Leonard Falcone. I was so happy to listen to that story.

When I competed this year and didn't make finals, I was REALLY upset because Mrs. Falcone was there and I missed my chance in finals! So after the final concert, I asked Sue Topping a favor of having Beryl Falcone "knight" me with her name tag. Mrs. Falcone was...

What a wonderful inspiration she has been during the last 30 years of the Leonard Falcone Festival at Blue Lake Michigan. Her presence at this event created a special feeling among all the students especially who never had the opportunity to know her husband.

I remember her coming to the International Tuba Association Convention in Italy where she...
