Leo Edward Beck
1933-2019
Leo Edward Beck, 85, of Forest Dale Home, formerly of
Riverside-Albert passed away peacefully on August 28th, 2019 at the
home with his loving family by his side.
Leo was born in Beaverbrook, Albert County on
September 29th, 1933 the son of the late Hugh and Annie (Leaman)
Beck.
Leo was a member of the Holy Ghost Catholic Church and his
faith was very important to him. He worked in the woods as a
private contractor, starting out with his horse Bud until getting his
skidder. He also worked for the Department of Natural
Resources running lines. His main passion was his hobby
farm, he loved every minute of it. He had cows and chickens and always
planted a beautiful garden; his farm was his little piece of
heaven on earth. He was always willing to lend a helping hand and
everyone knew if they needed anything he was there. Leo was
a very kind and gentle man who had a heart of gold and loved to laugh.
He will be remembered for his smile and his great sense of humour, and
his jolly disposition. He was an inspiration and role model
for his family and friends. May his legacy of love and kindness live
on in the hearts of all who knew him. ” Rest In Peace
with God and Nature.”
He will be deeply missed by his daughters, Kathy Beck of
Moncton and Charlene Beck of Riverview; daughter-in-law, Jackie Beck
of Hillsborough; sons, Paul (Bonnie) of Riverside-Albert, Brian
(Sherry) of Riverside-Albert and Charles (Debbie) of Riverside-Albert;
his nine cherished grandchildren; his eight precious
great-grandchildren; his sister, Rena Beaumont of Riverview.
He will also be sadly missed by several nieces and nephews and by many
friends and by his family from Fundy Royal Manor and Forest Dale
Home.
Besides his parents he was predeceased by his beloved wife,
Ruby (Douthwright) Beck and son, Michael.
