'FUNERAL FOR A FRIEND" elton john

The news of Dick Beeler's passing struck the Cimaglio family hard. Yet it brought up great memories of Dad and Dick. Aluminum cans anyone? Oh... the stories.
At my father's passing last year Dick, who was already very ill, called my Mom and asked if it would be possible to go to the funeral home outside of visiting hours. This was due to his low immunity system.
Even in ill health himself he made time for my mother and father, that's the kind of man he was.
Whether as coach, athletic director, teacher, or school administrator Painesville schools had an outstanding person looking out for them.
Dick was instrumental in the building construction and oversaw the development of all five of the buildings.
I can only hope the school board takes it upon itself to honor him with at least a plaque to commemorate all his hard work that went into these buildings.

God speed Mr. Beeler.

Dick was is what Painesville needed to succeed. His presence will be missed at everything. He also was a friend to our family making sure he knew about our children. His passing came at the same time we learned our daughter passed her state nursing exam- something Dick had been asking about all summer. Our daughter had worked for him for 7 years and was encouraged by Dick to follow her dreams. We are all sad to know he is gone! I can only hope he knows of her success!

Term, didn't you already ask last year for a plaque? What did they tell you?
