John L. Beamer

He was a man of God, a family steward and a life teacher. His footprint impacted so many. I was Blessed to have known him. I will miss Jack.

Jack was the family historian and master of the family lore. Always "Waterbird" to me, he taught me many things, like the difference between cousins once or twice removed and second, third, and fourth cousins. Jack possessed the famous humour of his own mother, our dear Great-Aunt "Weezie" (Louise Greenlaw Beamer), always a twinkle in his eye and a quick and ready wit. We called him "Uncle", though he is our cousin. Taught me how to catch "water dogs" for catfish bait. Told amazing...

Jack will be missed as he was a good friend&good man .

Uncle "Waterbird" Jack Beamer was one of the most beautiful people I have ever known. He was kind to all he met. His humor and penchant for inventive stories made him magnetic to be around. Marshall Knoles, my uncle, and he were great friends and it was always fun to spend time with Uncle Jack and Billie Faye and all of their wonderful children. Jack, May you Rest In Peace knowing that you were loved by many, including this guy!
