Beach was a loving, caring thoughtful person who always looked on the bright side and put everyone else ahead of himself. He could make everyone smile and was a true friend. Beach, you will be missed by all but never forgotten. Rest in Peace my friend.
Beach was one of the first people to make me feel welcome when we worked together at Weyerhaeuser/IP. We were friends and co workers for 25+ years. Whether it was taking the kids sledding, or at a birthday party, or just running into each other at Wegmans, he always tried to make the kids laugh. I remember how much he enjoyed ” clowning”. I couldn’t even begin to count the laughs we had. My deepest condolences to his family. Rest in peace Beach. I miss you already, Patty C.
He was a good humored and friendly coworker who cared about people! My condolences to the family.
My deepest condolences to the entire Beachner/Sharkey family! I remember going to a cheerleading competition in Atlantic City when Chastity and I were about 12 years old. I was terrified getting on this massive stage and when I finally looked up at crowd I saw Beach in a clown costume with a huge banner. I will forever remember him this way. He was always so nice to all us girls. Sending you all love!
Beach loved his 4 legged family. He belonged to the Genesee and Monroe cat fanciers clubs. He and Jan enjoy showing their household cat in the shows in Rochester New York. His humor and laugh will be missed. My condolences to his wife Jan and sister-in-law Ruth along with other family members.
My sincere condolences to Beach’s family. I’ll always remember our camping days and chic and bisc in Atlanta,ny. We have lost so many dear friends from camping for 29 years plus. RiP my friend. Karen, your kindness and thoughtfulness will always be remembered
My condolences to Beach’s family. I was one of the lucky folks who had the pleasure of working with Beach at Weyerhaeuser upon first moving to Rochester years back. No matter how chaotic it got, he always kept everything in perspective and was able to cool everyone’s jets. The first lesson he taught me was on day 1 of training. He pointed to a picture on his wall of downed power lines. He said, “don’t let this happen.” Of course, in the box biz, “lines are down” is the equivalent to hearing “The Stars and Stripes Forever” at a carnival. May he rest in peace.
Thanks for the memories my friend and wish you god speed. JOE CONIGLIO
One of the best men I knew….. I’m glad I had the chance. The family is in my thoughts and prayers.
Jan and family, Please know that you are all in both Patrick and my prayers and thoughts. We are so very sorry for your loss and extend our deepest sympathy and love. May God be with you all now and always.
Debi and Patrick
