Russell R. Beaulieu

Russ Beaulieu was the wonderful teacher. I was lucky to have him as a teacher in my freshman year at HHS. He was always there for all his students if they needed extra help or advise.
He will be missed by all who knew him.

May he rest in peace with the love his life, Barb.

Amy please accept my deepest condolence. I'll always remember Mr. Beaulieu as my teacher, Soccer Coach, and him and I going in the woods to dig up evergreen tree's. I will always consider Beaulieu a good friend and I will never forget him. Your parents were good people.

Mr. Beaulieu was the only staff member who tried to keep me in school. After meeting my father he realized that it was impossible for me to continue. He offered to help me with clothing and any support he could find for me. Thanks to his acknowledgment I'd just like to tell his family that I went on and received my GED and sent myself to trade school. I don't think I'd have done this without knowing there was one person who cared to find out the truth about my truancy.
May he rest in peace!

Mr. Beaulieu was a much beloved Teacher. He made learning a joy.

My younger Sisters, Nancy and Sharon also enjoyed his teaching. Sharon remembers that he used to go to Englishtown Flea Market looking for classic/old history books. Sometimes he found books that piqued his interest, which made him very happy.

Mr. Beaulieu also came to "every" high school reunion. Often times, he was the only Teacher there. It was always heartwarming to see him and to exchange pleasantries.

Our deepest sympathy and condolences, at this sad time, to the Family of Mr. Russel Beaulieu.

Class of 1959

We are so sorry for your loss. Russ was a remarkable man. It was good you were able to be with him during his final moments. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.

I, too, would like to pay tribute to Russ Beaulieu - one of the finest
teachers to ever walk the halls of Hightstown High School. As a colleague
I can say with certainty, his scholarship was outstanding. (I smile when I
think of walking into his office - where the walls were lined with books,
some stacked and tumbled onto the floors, so that finding a place to
sit was nearly impossible. It felt like a wing of the school library (the
influence, no doubt of Keller, Lelezi and the Cranbury Book Worm).
Surely his devotion and concern for students was unparalleled. His
friendship and many kindnesses towards other staff unmatched. I will
always be eternally grateful for having had the opportunity to know
Russ Beaulieu. "Good night sweet prince/ and flights of angels wing
thee to thy rest."

Russ Beaulieu was the best teacher. He had humor and imagination in his teaching bag of tricks, such that he was loved by all his students. I feel lucky to have been a student of his.

He lived a good life! I remember the wisdom he passed along in history class. His words still come to mind.

To a life well lived! I'm sorry for your loss Amy.

When I think of Mr.Beaulieu a smile comes to my face..I was a teacher in East Windsor and there was always a positive warm caring atmosphere connected to the name Beaulieu House...prayers of peace for his loved well

Rest in Peace Mr. Beaulieu. You touched so many through your teching and coaching. You a friend of my Dad and Uncle Skip. You will be missed.

He was a great person and example to all who knew him. He was completely dedicated to his work at Hightstown High.

Great teacher & mentor. Provided the necessary motivations I needed as a student. Lost a great one with his passing. HHS `77.

Mr. Beaulieu was a fantastic teacher. He knew his students well. He knew their idiosyncracies, but most of all he cared. He made a student feel . appreciated and loved. He told my mother at conference time that I was not taught how to take a test. He also wanted everyone to love history as much as he did. He adored the book "The American Pageant which I to this day refer to for a concise synopsis of events in History. May you have the best of memories. He will forever be in our hearts. May his memory be for a blessing. I will leave you with 2 quotes of his. One was History will free you. The other was you know how many concubines Jefferson had. That was to get our attention. He was fabulous! May you have the best of memories and be proud of the fact that he touched so many people with kindness, fairness and most of all historical knowledge. He will be sorely missed!

To Amy
I'm a former student of Mr. Beaulieu. He made history come alive and taught me that we can learn history or repeat its lessons. Because of him I got American Pagent to understand the depth of American history. He was well liked.He challenged his students. He made us learn through debate of
our perspectives. He will be missed. You and your family are sent condolencesfor your father.
