Charles Beebe Obituary
He was born in Hartford Aug. 21, 1931, the son of Wilson Daniel and Lucy Smith Beebe. He was a graduate of Western New England University in Springfield, Mass., as well as Wentworth Institute in Boston, Mass.
He served in the U.S. Army from 1953 to 1955 before marrying Elizabeth "Lib" Russell in Asheville, N.C. July 22, 1961. They lived in West Hartford for many years before they retired to Mystic in 1993. His professional career included stints at Hamilton Standard, Leeds & Northrup and Raymond Engineering. While working for Hamilton Standard, he was very proud of the work he did to support NASA's Apollo 13 mission.
He enjoyed gardening, stamp collecting and genealogy pursuits, as well as cracking jokes and telling everyone he met, "Keep smiling!". He was a member of several clubs in the community, including Masons Island Yacht Club (50+ year member), Hartford Golf Club, Godfrey Memorial Library, American Society for Metals, Hartford Chapters Instrument Society of America and The National Society, Sons of the American Revolution, as well as volunteering at the Mystic Seaport.
He is survived by his two children and their families: son Jonathan Marler Beebe, wife Christina and children, Cate and Jack; daughter Taylor Emerson Merrill, husband Charlie and children, Nolan and Grayson.
In lieu of a memorial service, a celebration of his life is planned for a later date. The Beebe family invites you to visit www.mysticfuneralhome.com for obituary information, celebration of life details and an online memorial register to leave a note of condolence.
