Charles Beard

It was so sad to hear of Charlie's passing. We played music together in The Illusions Band from 1977 to 1981. He was a great vocalist and an absolute pleasure to sing harmonies with and a terrific bass player. We had a lot of great moments together in the band and when we got together. Charlie was a true gentleman and friend. I will always remember Charlie as one of my best friends. Sorry that we didn't stay in touch as the years went by but I know he had great memories as well. God bless...

I knew Charlie from school and the Starlighters Drum & Bugle Corps. We had similar interest in music and preforming arts. I am sure he will be missed. We are all headed to someplace else.

I have many fond memories of practices and gigs with Charlie in our jazz band 5/4. He was a dedicated musician and family man with a sly sense of humor. I will always remember how he juggled many musical groups and theater productions with a smile. Charlie will be missed by so many people in the community. He made a positive difference. Thinking of Charlie and sending comfort and caring thoughts to his loved ones.

Charlie was a great friend and work colleague. We made it through company mergers, Rowan, ITE, Gould, Telemecanique, and Schneider Electric all the way to retirement. Lots of funny stories, the ups and downs of corporate life all with a positive attitude. Everyone will miss him, but the memories will last forever. Rest in peace my friend,

I knew Charles from Rowan on Bethel Rd. He worked with my parents Alan and Ann Hepding Jr., and I worked there for 2 summers. He was always so happy and joking around. Charles and his band played in my wedding in 1975 at Martians in Westminster, and we loved every minute! I am so sorry for your loss and will keep Charles,and his family, in my prayers. Sincerely, Catherine Hepding Stone.

Rest in peace, cousin. Jane Frock Bruns
