07 Oct 2001 Lt. William R. Beasley was my brother-in-law and always will be. He was one of the finest young men of his generation. His son, Brett, and daughter, Stacy, have both grown into wonderful, caring adults with families of their own. He has 8 grandchildren. He must be very proud of them. We have just passed the anniversary of his burial date - Oct. 5, 1966 - and the memory flood gates have been opened once again. Thank you, Bill, for all the memories and the legacy you left for your family. A memorial from his sister-in-law, Kathleen Hansen kathyg@televar.com

13 Mar 2006 William Beasley is my grandpa. I never got the chance to meet him, but for some reason he has always been with me. Every time I look at a picture of him or hear a story about him, I feel so close to him. I wish that I could have gotten to know him. By the stories I hear he must have been one amazing man. When I look at my dad, I sometimes wonder how much of him still remains today. I cannot wait until the day that I get to see him and talk to him. He is always in my heart and I know that he is missed by so many. From his granddaughter, Jacquelyn Beasley j_beez3@hotmail.com
