Not sure what to say?

It broke my heart to hear of Paul's passing. I will always remember him as the sweet boy next door, whom I held with great respect for his kindness, goodness, and many talents. He had a wonderful smile and I loved his laugh. As for the Beard family, I send my love and you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Paul and I lost touch after I moved to L.A two years ago. Oddly, whenever I returned to New York, our paths always crossed, whether it was through common friends or at the studio. The last time I saw him was at about 3am after a bunch of us got together to play on online Unreal Tournament game. We are a geeky group and Paul fit right in. We loved him. I will always think of him as the person who befriended me when I first arrived at Blue's Clues even though I was from 'the other show.' He was...

Dear Beard Family,

We are all so sorry for the loss of Paul too early in his life. I worked with Paul at Blue's Clues and remember so vividly his smile, his gentle way of being, his talent, and his Spirit. We all learned alot about how to live from Paul and his memories and spirit will go on in all of us forever! Thank you for sharing him with us. He has made a difference in all of our lives. All the best to all of you at this very difficult time our hearts and thoughts are...

On behalf of Paul Beard's family. Paul was a inspiration to people all around. I remember his smile and his beautiful personality. His example of love, respect,and concern for others should always be carried on. Working with many people from Nickelodeon, I could never forget Paul Beard. He always took the time out, to ask me, how I was doing. Not only a Great example, but a Great Man. This entry is sent with my greatest condolences.

Dear Beard Family-
I was so sad to hear of Paul's sudden death. He was truly the kindest person! I always will remember him from high school as being so talented and friends with everyone. Your family and Paul will be in my thoughts and prayers...

Dear Beard Family:

We were on a family vacation together, and when we returned Colin emailed me that he had heard about Paul. We were all deeply saddened by his accident and our hearts go out to you all in trying to deal with Paul's shortened life.
We remember him very fondly and always loved his sweet smile and personality. He was a very talented individual who contributed greatly to society in his limited lifetime. We are so sorry for your loss and will have fond...

Dear Beard Family,
My heart breaks for you and for the passing of a wonderful man. I want to express how sorry I am for this tragedy. I am thinking of you with all my heart. I feel blessed to have known Paul and been a part of his life. I will cherish every moment we had together down to the smallest detail. I remember once we were in Buffalo and a whole group of us went to the "World's Largest Disco Party". Paul had on big bell bottoms and a butterfly collar shirt. He looked great. He...

Just hangin with my friends-Fall 1999

Dear Laurie, Marshall & Jeremy, Our family just learned of Paul's untimely death and are fighting hard to hold back the tears. We remember the first time we met Paul as he and our daughter Krissy stepped off the plane in Buffalo. He was so eager to make a good impression, but his nerves seemed to get in the way. Ironically, in a sort of cartoonish fashion, everything started to unravel for him; his bookbag came unzipped and things were falling out, he kept dropping his gloves, then his hat,...
