My condolences to your whole family at his passing!

To the Ridgely Family,

I met your parents in 2010 when I first visited them on behalf of Gilman. They were both delightful people. After that first visit, we corresponded by mail and I tried to get to Providence to see them, and then just your dad, at least once a year.

Rest in peace Bev with your wife Barbara. Reading your obituary confirms a wonderful legacy of a life well lived.

May they enjoy life everlasting in the kingdom heaven.

Wow, what an incredible life well lived and apparently enjoyed as well. Thanks for sharing the man behind the name. I worked at Brown from 83' thru 05' Not sure if our paths ever crossed. My loss for sure ! Oddly, I too collect stamps and have a great many of those " birds " as well. Godspeed Bev.

I'm happy to have known Beverly, extremely intelligent man, whom I enjoyed listening to... May he Rest in Eternal Peace.

She'd taken fabulous courses whem Bev had sabbaticals in France, and then taught local RI friends...

I did not know your Dad but thoroughly enjoyed reading about his wonderfully involved & active life! Your lives will always remain full with all the memories he has left you! Well done!!!
