We will always remember Groundhog with the fondest memories. He was a caring, funny, and loving soul with the greatest friendliness and compassion for all he ever met.

Kevin "Groundhog" Beachley - Just to mention him brings back lots of memories. In 1984 our barn burned and Jimmy Remsburg rebuilt it in three weeks along with the help of many volunteers and his relatives (including "Groundhog"). We were blessed and indeed thankful for all their time and abilities.
Another memory really stands out; It´s a story about Santa Claus. Kenny´s brother Joe always asked his brother-in-law., who dressed as Santa, if he would spend one night and "surprise" visit many of his friends. Joe would drive Carl all over the place waiting in the truck while he went into homes. Later, Kenny saw Groundhog someplace and Groundhog exclaimed to him "You kissed my Grandma" - then Kenny said "No I didn´t" - Goundhog says "Yes, you did, I saw your truck" - Kenny still said "No, I didn´t" - THEN he realized that Joe and Carl had borrowed Kenny´s truck that night.
