Reginald D. Beach
1939-2020
It
is with deep sorrow and much love that we mourn the passing of
Reginald Beach on Tuesday, December 1, 2020 at the age of 81
years.
Reg will be lovingly remembered by his
sons Todd (Kelli) Beach of Hampton, NB and Greg (Tammy) Beach of
Fairview, AB. Reg had a special connection with his grandchildren who
knew him as «Papa»: Aidan, Cara Rose, Eireyann, Peighton and
Rowan. He is also survived by his sister Connie (Ken) Balser of
Moncton and several nieces and nephews.
Reg was predeceased by Judy, his loving
wife of 56 years and by his parents William and Claudine (Trites)
Beach.
Reg was a retired Regional Purchasing
Agent with the CN (35 years service) and a 37-year member of the
Canadian Armed Forces Reserves (Major, retd.) as well as a member of
the 32nd Service Battalion Association. He was also a member of the
Royal Canadian Legion and was particularly proud of his role as Parade
Commander for the Moncton Remembrance Day ceremonies for several
years.
Reg was a dedicated member of Mountain
View United Church and the church choir. He could usually be found in
and around the kitchen and took a lead role in the recent finished
kitchen renovation project. He also was a member and past president of
the Holy Family Church Seniors Group.
Above all, Reg cherished his family and
relationships with friends. Upon his retirement he took up carving and
woodworking and our houses filled with the products of his
craftsmanship. When he was no longer able to work in the woodshop, he
turned his hand to baking – cookies, cakes, pies,
cheesecake, bread and muffins to be shared. He can take some of the
credit for the weight that many of us gained during the
pandemic.
Due to current COVID-19 restrictions, a
private family service will be held. To view the service from a mobile
device or tablet after 2:00 pm on Monday, December 7, 2020, please use
