Dear Aunt Anita, Kathy, Karen, and Billie,
You are in our thoughts and prayers at this time of loss. "Uncle Pete", as the Texan part of the clan knew Bill Beard, was a good man who loved his family. I know that he will be sorely missed by all of you, the grandchildren, & great grandchildren.
My contact with Uncle Pete was infrequent, but I knew him as a patriotic, intelligent, and good-humored man. When I was a kid, I loved to hear my grandmother’s stories about her kids as they grew up. Uncle Pete seemed to be the ring-leader of all the excitement. My grandmother was very proud of her oldest son, especially of his service in the Navy.
May the Lord give you peace and comfort. We can all remember W. F. Beard with fondness and continue to create his legacy.
Love,
Tim Reed

Love,

Dear Mrs. Beard:
I was really sorry to hear about Mr. Beard. I really liked him alot. I will always remember him because he always would come up to me and shake my hand and say "How are you doing young man?" He would do that almost every week at church. That was so cool of him!
