Oliver Beardmore

Ollie got me my first real job at Sch´dy Chemicals. New him from the Mohawk Golf Club. Had the pleasure of traveling with him many times to Fort Wayne Indiana. My condolences to Barbara and family. He was a special person for sure.

I worked with Ollie in his capacity as a representative of Schenectady Chemicals for thirty years. He, my wife and I became very close and stayed in touch long after he and I had both retired. He had a keen wit. For example, he jokingly called me Dr. Westenfeld and did so so often that when I changed jobs, my new employers assumed I had earned a Ph.D. and was just too modest to talk about it. He and I didn´t disabuse them of that notion. Usually. Both lovers of sawdust, we shared many...

Ollie was one of my favorite Lonsdale Ave people growing up. He was wickedly funny (he often suggested that I go play in traffic, for example), and he and Barbara produced 3 amazing children that the 3 Dennison children enjoyed. I know that John and Rhoda enjoyed Ollie and Barbara as well. RIP Ollie.

Ollie was always so cheerful and wise about so many things. I will miss his humor and quick wit. Good bye, my friend. Ron Beeckman

Ollie's passing is so sad as I always enjoyed his humor and great wisdom. He will be deeply missed. God Bless and keep Barbara, his loving wife and best friend for 73 years.
