Richard A. Beck

My condolences to the family of "Pete" Beck.

Pete served on the Board of Directors of the School Employees Credit Union (now Via Credit Union) for several years during my time as Manager/President. He was an active participant on the board, thought `out of the box´ and offered great ideas. The scholarship program, still in place today at Via CU, was originated by Pete. He was a vigorous participant in life and generous to all. My condolences to the family.

Pete was a star athlete at Fairmount High School and I think was also his Senior Class president. I met him again a few years ago when I was asked to be the person for the James Dean Day parade. Pete was an outstanding individual and athlete. He will be sorely missed by many people in addition to his loving family. He contributed much to Fairmount High School and the Fairmount community. May his family be comforted in the loving hands of Jesus Christ! Bob Sheets, Lake Placid, FL

Pete Beck was a magnificent man! His intelligence and concern for others was outstanding. The things he and fellow State Rep Tracy Boatwright did for Marion (the improved by-pass - the Riverwalk - just to name 2) are more than has been done for us in the 30 years since) He was always a good source of advice and ideas. I am so sorry to learning of his passing. My condolences to his family. May his memory be a blessing.

One of the best guys I´ve ever met. Coached me back in high school, and was a very good example for a lot of young men.
