Kenneth Waldo Beard Sr.

TWENTY-EIGHT YEARS WERE NOT ENOUGH!! DURING THAT TIME, WE WATCHED 6 KIDS GROW INTO ADULTS. WE HAD 18 GRANDCHILDREN AND 1 GREAT-GRANDCHILD BORN. LOOKING BACK ON 28 YEARS, I HAVE SO MANY MEMORIES AND STORIES TO SHARE WITH OUR GRANDCHILDREN. ONE THING I REMEMBER IS YOU ALWAYS BEING THERE TO HELP ME. AT TIMES, I COULD NOT DECIDE WHAT OR HOW TO DO SOMETHING AND I COULD ALWAYS COUNT ON YOU TO GUIDE ME. JUST THE OTHER DAY, I WAS THINKING OF RETIRING. I KEPT WISHING YOU WERE HERE TO HELP ME...

I served with Kenny on the school board for eight memorable years. Kenny was the passionate voice among us of whom we sometime disagreed with, sometime relied upon for his courage and conviction, yet all the time we appreciated, knowing we wouldn't be complete without him. He will be missed in this community that he loved so much and gave so much. His faith guided him in more ways than most people knew. Well done, Kenny!
Love and prayers are extended the family.

Grandpa
We love and miss you so much. We will always remember our lunches, fishing trips, and the many nights we stayed the night at your house and got to wake up to those wonderful pancakes. You were our one and only grandpa and can never be replaced.
Love,
Boog, Tinker,and Princess
