ST. IGNATIUS — Today our world changed with the passing of our dad, Bud Beebe. He was the leader in our family, our dad, a husband, a grandfather, an uncle, a brother and a friend. A great humanitarian; he loved his family, marveled at the world around him and appreciated a good horse. He will be missed by many people he befriended along the way but most of all we his family will miss his caring ways.
He arrived on Feb. 3, 1927, and the quote from Gramma says he peeked and decided to be a day after Groundhog Day. That particular sense of humor stayed with Bud all the days of his life. He spent many happy years as the local brand inspector until arthritis and bum knees made him slow down.
Bud was preceded in death by his parents, and his wife of 50 years, Nita; two sisters; three brothers and three nieces.
Bud’s children: daughter, Linda (John Koehne); three grandchildren, four great-grandchildren and one great great-granddaughter; his son Bruce (Charlene) Beebe; two grandsons, and four great-grandchildren, survive him.
Bud’s wife, Betty Lou, her children and extended family; his three sisters, their families and extended families; and his two brothers and their extended families survive him. I am grateful for all who loved him and shared his life; you made him happy with your love, laughter, and friendship. Thank you. To honor dad’s request, there is no service planned.
