Not sure what to say?

Ken Beauchamp was an amazing professor and mentor. With his encouragement, mentoring, and general way of being he greatly influenced my academic career and subsequent professional career. I feel so grateful to have had him and Martin Gibson as my professors at UOP both through undergrad and masters program. He also contributed significantly to my doctoral dissertation. He was a special human being and an amazing professor.

I was very sorry to learn of Dr. Beauchamp's passing. He was the chair of my thesis committee in 1974. I will always remember him as a gifted instructor and a valued mentor. Best wishes to the family.

His statistics class was the best I ever had (Class of 1980). I assigned one of the textbooks he used, when I became an assistant professor at USM in 1986. I'll never forget the great advice he gave me, one day, when I was driving from Stockton to Mendocino. I remembered it, but didn't really follow it, and I almost died that day. Hmmm, thanks Dr. Beauchamp.

Dr. Beauchamp was one of the best professors I've ever had the privilege to know. He was demanding but fair. John Bolter, Class of 1979.

Ken was a wonderful mentor to junior faculty at Pacific. He will be remembered.

I worked with Ken in the COP Dean's office in the early 70's. Ken was always very kind to everyone, even the "staff." I found him to be intelligent, great integrity and a joy to work with and get to know. I ran into Ken many years after I left UOP and he immediately remembered who I was and asked how I was doing. He will be greatly missed.

God bless you The Family. Family may you find comfort in god. Take Care Maria

Dr. Beauchamp was an incredibly generous and kind person. He was wonderful as an advisor and teacher and lots of fun elsewhere. Noontime basketball was always enjoyable with him. Thank you for all that you did for the University of the Pacific. You will never be forgotten.

A wonderful father, husband, noon baller and dog lover... Ken's love and dedication to Pacific will be missed by all who knew and loved him as a colleague. Please accept our gratitude for sharing him with us all these years.
