Richard Moore Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 I was shocked and very sad to hear that Gerry Beaumont had passed away. We conversed a lot by e-mail and phone in my early days of inspecting, and the wife and I shared a few brews and a lobster dinner with Gerry in Portland, Maine when we were on our east coast Mini delivery vacation back in '05. Click to Enlarge 39.19 KB I found the thread over "there", and it seems he was found dead in his workshop after an apparent heart attack. A good guy gone! I'll hoist my next beer to you Gerry.

kurt Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 Damn, I never knew the guy, or even heard of him until today. I never really went on the inachi board more than a couple times for a couple minutes each time. Keeled over in your workshop doesn't sound like all that bad a way to go. Is it easier for a HI to pass through the Pearly Gates than it is for a rich man? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phillip Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 I met Gerry at some classes he was teaching. To me he was a good man that believed in what he was doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben H Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 Keeled over in your workshop doesn't sound like all that bad a way to go. I can't think of a better way to go. Is it easier for a HI to pass through the Pearly Gates than it is for a rich man? I'll bet yup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hausdok Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 According to a post made by a fellow named Greg Bell over on the soap opera there will be a memorial service for Gerry on May 24th and a viewing and a service by Harvey Gordon. Gerry's parents are coming over and they are going to do a cremation and sprinkle his ashes at sea and then afterward there will be a an after-service service at a local pub so folks can raise a glass in his memory. The address of the funeral home is: Sun City Center Funeral Home 1851 Rickenbacker Drive Sun City Center, FL 33573 Phone: 813-643-9900 R.I.P. Gerry. ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!!

John Kogel Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 I have read many of his posts in answer to HI questions, and his answers are always civil, and always correct. RIP, Gerry B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
