Robert Eugene Beard

Juanita,

I was so saddened to learn that Bob had died. I worked for and with him at the Santa Fe and will remember him with much affection.

He had a great sense of humor and although I probably made him want to pull his hair out sometimes with my then youthful indiscretions, he was always fair and good to work for.

Remember when you and he were dancing at one of the annual Christmas parties and you danced your heel of your shoe. I'll always remember that. ...

We have lost a dear friend in Bob. We loved you and will miss you so much. A better person was never put on this earth. A true gentlemen and friend.
