Dear Velma,
A voice from the past. I used to work with the General Council Offices in Toronto and remember how much I enjoyed working with you out of the London Conference Office. I was so sorry to read of Don’s passing on line and do extend my regrets and deepest sympathies to you now. You’re having a very hard time just now and I am thinking of you with encouragement.
Sincerely, Doug Flanders

To the Beck Family:
Please know that my thoughts are with you at this time. We have a lot of fond memories of your time in Bayfield.
My thoughts and prayers to all of you at this sad time.
Rev. Beck played a large part in my life growing up in Bayfield, from the Youth group at the United Church to the baptismal of my daughter in 1978.
He will be sadly missed.
Remember that we in Bayfield still think fondly of you all.
