Edwin Fernando Beach

Judge Beach treated everyone with dignity and respect and kindness. Every encounter was a joy and a blessing, and left one feeling uplifted. My thoughts are with Barbara. May your sweetest memories bring you peace.

I will always remember his kindness. What a fine man. My sympathy to the family Mary Kaplan (Kaplan's Bootery)

Fourth of July at the Beach's was always a special time for my family. Everyone brought their best chili for the chili contest. We spread quilts on the giant side lawn, played vollyball, and chatted with friends while kids ran wild. Then we'd watch the fireworks as night fell. Everyone in the community was always welcome. I just always felt lucky to be welcomed by such gracious hosts...who not only never forgot my name, but knew the names of all my children as well! My thoughts and...

Many years ago I served on a jury in Judge Beach's courtroom. Unlike my other jury services, I will never forget how kind and considerate Judge Beach was to the jury. He appreciated the fact that we were somewhat nervous and perhaps intimidated by the whole process and went out of his way to make it as comfortable as possible, never losing his professionalism in the process. Although I didn't know Judge Beach as a friend, there is no doubt in my mind he would have made a wonderful friend....

Dear all the wonderful Beach family,

All my love to you at this time. I know. I lost my Dad 6+ years ago. It hurts, but what is paramount is the knowledge that my love and devotion remains in my heart for him, and for your Dad. Ed was a fine man,in all respects! My prayers are with you at this time.

Jeanne, my prayers to the Lord for and condolences to you and your family. I appreciate your father's service to our state. Glad to have worked with you at S.P. Daily Chronicle.

He was the same age as my parents. I could never have called him Ed or even Mr. Beach; it was always Judge Beach. Thing is, he'd spot me before I ever did him in a crowd, and I simply couldn't believe he would even still know my name. This was a man who knew thousands of people. In that scenario, I was pretty much a nobody and he was a big SOMEBODY, so it was quite flattering. He could have been the most pretentious person in the world. Instead, here I am at the library, and he walks...

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.
