Louis Neebe "Lou" Beal

I was fortunate to get to know Lou and Betty in the early 90's. What a wonderful man. I took to him immediately. Given all that he had accomplished and experienced in his life he was totally unpretentious and so very down to earth. Always smiling, joking, and laughing. A credit to his family and his country.
I'm happy to know that he died peacefully when the time came. Betty, he was very lucky to have you at his side all those years. I'm sure he left you with many fond memories.

Daddy's service was very moving yesterday. I had never seen a military ceremony. It was so impressive and Archie's and Rusty's readings from the Bible were incredibly touching. The minister was very inspiring and had a wonderful singing voice. The chapel was standing room only. I believe Daddy would sum it all up by saying, "Well, wouldn't that harelip the governor?" Thank you to everyone for remembering Snooks. Love from Holly Helen Beal Reames (p.s. "Mother *of* Pearl" got two...

JUST LEARNING OF THIS TODAY. LOU AND BETTY ARE VERY SPECIAL PEOPLE. I HAVE KNOWN LOU IN OUR WORK FOR OVER 30 YEARS. ONE OF THE NICEST PEOPLE THAT YOU WOULD EVER WANT TO BE AROUND.
HE WILL TRULY BE MISSED. "MOTHER OF PEARL" GOD BE WITH THE FAMILY IN THIS TIME OF SORROW.

Good-by Mr. Lou!

Betty,
Norma informed me of Lou's death. I have precious memories of you as my neighbors.
Know you are in my thoughts and prayers.
