Not sure what to say?

Debbie, I cannot imagine how you remain strong. I believe Beau brought you back to life and I am so glad he was a part of your family. I like to think that he and Johnny are having a laugh now talking about you, the kids and the grand kids, bikes, music and cars. Love the thought. Love you... Our best to you and family ... Tina and Craig

I moved to San Francisco in 1981 and Beau & I lost track of each other. Through an odd set of circumstances we reconnected last May via telephone and had several conversations. I tried in vain to contact him when I was recently in Maryland and had looked with much anticipation on getting together with him. Apparently after his diagnosis he didn't want to be contacted. In light of all of that I was heartbroken to hear of his death. We had a lot of fun playing guitars together in the 1970's...

I met Beau back in 1970. He was a very special friend. I can still see him playing his guitar. I moved away in 1980 and lost touch with him. A mutual friend told me about his passing. My heart and prays go out to your family. I will always remember his sweetness and friendship all those years ago. Rest in Peace My Friend..

for Dee, and family. our families were very close growing up in md. I will always remember beau and the melvin family; peggy, slim, dee and bo with lovely memories. dee, my sisters and I will be keeping you and your family in our thoughts & Prayers, with deepest sympathy. love you Dee, the Covalt girls; Linda, Edna, Marie and Dolores

Debbie:

Although I never met your wonderful "Beau", but I feel like I did through your loving words and expressions when you spoke of him, which you did so often. Please know that I am praying for you to find comfort in knowing that he is a peace and with our Lord. Debbie, as special as I think your, I know that Beau could have been nothing less.

My sincerest and warmest thoughts and prayers are with you.

Debbie- My deepest sympathies to you. Beau and I worked 30 years together and I was saddened to here of his illness and passing. Work was always fun with Beau. I miss the shoulder rubs. A great guy who will be missed.

Beau will be greatly missed. I will miss the talks and hugs he gave whenever I saw him. I have been blessed to call him my uncle. I know he will watch over all of us each and everyday. Love always and forever Julia, Jason, Grace, and Owen

He was a gentle giant in our lives, so dependable in so many ways. Beau made it easy to take that for granted. He preferred a routine or a plan, but the love he shared with all of us was so pure and never on a schedule. His unwavering loyalty, creativity, and boundless love were only some of many traits I'll never forget. Words don't show the pride I hold dearly to have known him, or the loss we feel at his passing.
