Thomas J. Beatson Jr.

I don't know what ABC would have done all these years without Tom. He was at the park signing us in every single Sunday, no matter the weather. In the summer he had to get up at 4:30 to take care of his medical needs and be at the park at 6 a.m.

Tom was generous with his time and his money. He was great support to ABC president and founder Gene Berlatsky with extra projects, and he hosted a large number of friends, family, and club members for an elegant dinner at the Pointe...

Tom was my first cousin. His father was my mother's brother. We loved when he and his family visited. His family introduced us to other parts of our world.

Tom was a very good friend and I have known him since 1985 when I started Bike Den in Phoenix, Az. and he bought his Bianchi bicycle from me. I have ridden many miles with Tom with the Arizona Bicycle Club. He was a very personable man and he will sorely be missed. God bless.

Dear Beatson family,
I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. It's so encouraging to hear of one's who as a young man have a challenge but doesn't allow it to stop then from achieving goals. In the Bible's book of James 5:10-11. Says through his suffering and exercising patience, we consider happy those who have endured. Like Job was rewarded for faithfulness. We too have a hope of everlasting life. John 17:1-3,.
