Peter Beck

I visited Folly Beach for the first time over the Easter weekend 2024. I took my grandchildren to Pirates Cove Park and saw the plaque dedicating the park to Peter Beck. I wanted to know more about him so I came to this site. His boys would be long since grown by now and I hope they bring their children to this lovely park that their grandfather had a hand in creating. It sounds like your community suffered a terrible loss.

I am very sorry to have read of this death. The Scholl family will keep you all in prayer. Family is so important to all of us I remember Peter's grandmother Eleanor Scholl Sinclair she was the sister of my father inlaw Lawrence Scholl

I only just learned of Peter's passing a few moments ago, when I opened up my just-delivered Gazette. I was shocked to see his name in the obituaries and express my deepest condolences to you and your family.

Peter was, indeed, a wonderfully good guy (I was a fellow Class of 1989 PENN classmate). If you have any additional information on Peter's most recent years, I would be grateful for learning more about him before you lost him earlier this year.

Sincerely,

Rob...

My deepest condolences to Peter's family. Peter was our dear friend and leader in college. He was all class, and I cherish his memory.

Dear Laura,

I am a former law school classmate of Peter's.
I grew up and now live in Beaufort. Peter and I had much in common, including a love of the Lowcountry, the water and sports.

There are two things unique to Peter which I will always cherish: his wonderful smile and his sincere compassion for others.

I am also a father of two sons (Lawton and Luke, ages 10 and 7). We spend a lot of time on the Beaufort River. If you and the boys are ever...

Dear Laura:

I am so sadden and shocked to hear of your loss. My heart goes out to you and your boys. Peter had a beautiful spirit. I think of him often and will always remember his clever way with words, jaunty walk, and million watt smile.

Laura, I am so saddened about Peter and I have thought about him and you every day since I heard the news last week. I remember getting big hugs from yall at Hawke's memorial at Bert's when I was going through the shock and pain myself. That was my last hug from Peter and it was healing for me that you both were there. I know how much pain you must be in and send my love and my best hug awaits when I get the chance to see you again. Peter was one of my favorite people in high school and I...

Laura: so deeply sorry for your loss and for the boys. Peter was one of my favorite people, I tried to emulate him at times, but he was just too unique. Peter picked me, out of a stack of resumes to work with him. I'll never forget that. He was brilliant and I enjoyed working with him - his mind always came up with the best ideas to solve a problem ... he was beautiful that way.

Laura - I'm another of Peter's high school classmates whom you haven't met. Like others who have written, I have fond memories of Peter as both a classmate and a soccer teammate - plus an enduring image of him walking around P-G wearing a bow tie with aplomb, something most of us didn't dare try. Although I left Charleston literally the day after our 1985 graduation and did not have a chance to continue the relationship, Peter will forever be a part of fond memories of growing up in the...
