Not sure what to say?

Prof. Beery was the best of the best, not only to me but to my younger brother, who graduated in the 1980s. He was always a friend, and I traded him a Marlin .22 lever action rifle for a "top-of-the-line" Brazilian-wood target bow ca. 1974, I worked for him for a long time at his business, Athens Blueprint, back in the '70s. Brilliant man, who I miss very much. Last time I saw him was a class reunion back in the late '80s or early '90s. What a talented man!

Thank you for being our most creative instructor at sed.

Prof Beery's design course will always be in my memory. Thank you for the teaching me. I am grateful. You are a true artist. Peace

Our thoughts are with you

Prof Beery's classroom is the first I walked in at UGA. He made an unforgettable first impression and a lasting impact on my design process. Thank you. Peace.

My thoughts and prayers are with you Nancy. Bill was a tremendous teacher. I'm glad I had the opportunity to spend an afternoon with y'all recently.

Remembering Mr. Beery with great sadness today and offering prayers for peace to Mrs. Beery and the family.

Much sympathy and prayers for you Nancy and family. I admired Mr. Bill so much for his wit and art-- will always treasure these pieces of art! Billy & Gloria

Professor Beery opened my world to drawing and sketching. I will be forever grateful.
