John Beeching Obituary
John Beeching passed peacefully at the age of 95 on May 6th. A loving husband, father and grandfather he will be missed by his wife, Betty, and entire family and live on in in our hearts with his love and sense of humour. He had many fond memories of growing up with his 4 brothers in Qu'Appelle and Regina. After joining the Canadian Air Force to fight against fascism during WWII, John returned where he met and married his wife Betty. John and Betty spent the rest of their lives dedicated to creating a peaceful and just world. John leaves behind a legacy of solidarity born of love. In accordance with family wishes, there will be no formal service. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the "Near East Cultural and Educational Fund" for Gaza Medical Relief (https://www.canadahelps.org/en/charities/necef-sabeel-canada/)

I cannot believe John is gone. It seems only yesterday he was sending out e:mails and Facebook messages encouraging more effective actions for stronger peace and solidarity movements.
We will miss his sage advice, his humour, and his impatience. Ed Lehman and Heather Crichlow, Regina Peace Council
