Robert Bearden

I'm sorry I didn't get tp see you on my return to California from Florida. I cared for Aunt Shirl Beekly at the ranch in Empire, until her passing in 2020. She told me you had been ill. I still have the Photo you gave me, and the one from David Lee. I cherish them both. I miss you my friend.

My deepest condolences to all The Bearden family. Rest in peace Rob was a true friend and a great supporter of the artists. He himself (IS) a great photographer with a very special Eye. He will live for ever through his thousands of great photos which he left behind.

Rob was one of my first friends when we settled in Waterford. From the Waterford Museum to many Waterford Heritage Day events, we enjoying serving our community. I am fortunate to have a Rob Bearden original framed photograph in my home, one I forced him to sell me after admiring it in his gallery. I will always treasure my memories of Rob.

I was part MJC photo program along side Robert. He loved photography and people.He had a passion for everything he was involved in. He loved making people happy. One of my last memories of Robert, was seeing him a couple years ago on his Cushman in the Graffiti Parade.My sympathy to your family.
