James W. Beard

Dear Trudy, Jo Harrington wrote me about Jim, and I'm so sorry. You, the girls and grandchildren all have my deepest sympathy. Jim was such a gentle and kind man and will be missed.
With all my love,
Marge

No words can ever express all the great memories we have had in all of our years together. From when you were dating Jim, to our always being welcome in your home when we came from CA to visit, and our children growing up together.We will miss Jim, but he will always be in our hearts.
Love, Bob and Fran

My first and favorite memory of Uncle Jim - when I was a flower girl in Sue's wedding and all gussied up in my little pink dress and Uncle Jim patted me on the head and told me I looked like a little princess.

Aunt Trudy, Liz & Sue - my thoughts & prayers are with your family. Uncle Jim holds a special place in my heart. We always had such great vacations at your house.
I love you all.

Aunt Trudy, Sue and Liz - my thoughts and prayers are with you. My memories of Uncle Jim are all good - he was fun to have as an uncle. Hopefully knowing that we can empathize with your pain may bring you some comfort - we are here for you!

With much sympathy,

Margaret (Spenner) Minchow

I will never forget James W Beard! His persistence and encouragement were the dominating factors in my persuing a college education. I will always be greatful to him for guiding me through the early years of my life.
I consider Jim to be my best friend, and a super brother-in-law.
