So many childhood memories
So many childhood memories began to come back as I read this obit. The times as a little girl going to Luken's Company store with my momma and seeing the smiling face of Mr. Beach. If memory serves me correctly, it was behind the meat counter.
God Bless you sir, may you rest in peace. Fly with the angels.

I send my deepest sympthy to the Beach Family
I had met Norm only one time, and I smile when I think of that moment.
Norm greeted me as if we had known each other for years. He showed love and joy when he spoke of his home and his family. I am blessed with a small gift, a smile, when I continue to think of that moment and the stories of the loving Beach family.
I wish you peace
Sorry for your loss

Dear Barry, Randy & Dana,
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your families. I know what it is
like to be without a father. My dad will be gone 9 yrs. on Monday & I still miss him everyday. I have fond memories of being at your house for youth group activities and also hearing both your Mom & Dad singing together. They showed their love for all of you everyday. Keep all of those memories close to your hearts and he will never be far away.

To the Beach Family -
Norm lived to be 84, what a long life.
Where do I begin, I remember working with Norm in the Parkesburg District Court as he served the community as a police officer and constable.
Also have memories of him butchering deer for my husband Bobby.
Norm was such a happy and caring person.
Barry, Randy, Dana your parents raised 3 fine men. I am sure he is so proud of you.
Blessings and hugs. We all know he is in heaven.
