I worked with Beetle at Hercules, he was always willing to help if needed, such a kind man. Thoughts and prayers with the families.

I also remember "Beetle" when I first began to work at SFAAP and Joe and I were also fortunate to know and work with his Son, Dwane "Lou". Beetle was such a polite and hard-working Herculite! We know he will be missed by his friends and family.

I remember Beetle from working at Sunflower. He was always ready with a smile and in good humor. Such a kind man!
