Ronald Beecham 1943-2002

IN LOVING MEMORY OF OUR BELOVED FATHER
        RONALD AUBREY BEECHAM
17th March, 1943---18th October, 2002

A BITTER GRIEF A SHOCK SEVERE,
TO PART WITH ONE WE LOVE SO DEAR,
OUR LOSS IS GREAT WE WILL NOT COMPLAIN,
BUT HOPE IN HEAVEN TO MEET AGAIN.
A BEAUTIFUL LIFE FULL OF KINDLY DEEDS,
A SOURCE OF SYMPATHY TO ALL IN NEED,
SINCERE AND TRUE IN HEART AND MIND,
A BEAUTIFUL MEMORY YOU LEAVE BEHIND.
                                      Your Loving Children

I visited Ronald Beecham when I first noticed a new
member had joined the Crosthwaite Homes family 
and came to know who he was. He passed away
not long after, maybe a few months later. His two sons, Clarence
and Neville I'd seen when they studied in
La Martiniere College. I next saw Clarence when he married
Charmaine, the elder daughter of Peter Fanthome.
