Our condolences to you dear Sue, and to your siblings, and all the family. It is hard to lose your parent. We've never met Mr. Beck, but he must have been a gifted man in his skills. Sorry for his passing. -

Uncle Jim was very loved by my family and his brother, my dad John. I will always remember Uncle Jim for his kindness, his laugh and mostly for his shenanigans. He will be missed! My love and sympathy to my cousins and families for the loss of your Dad and grandfather and great-grandfather. I know he is in heaven and I know Grandma Beck was his second hug after Jesus.
