Not sure what to say?

To Hank's family: My deepest condolences to you. Hank was a true "pilots-pilots" and a wonderful human being. Hank and I worked together at OMAC. I was project manager and Hank was hired to run flight test. I know that Hank will continue to Live-It-Up See you later Hank.

To the Beaird Family: I was truely blessed to have known Hank during his time in Reno. His care and concern about my welfare when I broke my leg helped me realize who my real friends were. Thank You Hank for "Livin it up"!

Hank Beaird. You are a legend in the aviation world, but also in this family. I loved you so much, when I was a little girl during Learjet days. You stood out in my memory always, as an example of how great a good man can be. You will be greatly missed.

Dear Roslyn, I was so sorry to hear about Hank's passing. The world has lost a true gentleman. I just know that Hank is in the Big Hangar in the Sky livin' it up with Mah and Daddybill and all his loved ones who have been waiting for him.
Love, Moya

Rosalind, I was so sorry to read about your husband's death. He obviously had a very exciting life. My prayers and sympathy are with you. It's been a very long time since we graduated from Sunset, but I still remember you fondly.

God Bless you and your family Hank. Lord knows you were there for ours. My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family. It was a true pleasure to have known you.

Hank, May the winds be at your back as you make your flight west!!

Hank and Roz and Dave and Dorrie and Me.

Dear Beaird Family: I am stunned to learn friend Hank is gone. Many memories of his and Roslyn's kindness to me during the Lear Fan era flood back; especially his keen, irreverent sense of humor. Please know that there are many of us who feel priveleged to have shared some time with this down to earth, amazing aviation pioneer. I am sure he, the Ol' man and Moya are now flying together. With love & deepest sympathy.
