Lit a candle in memory of Burrell "Bud" Beatty
I served under Colonel Beatty while he was Commandant of the Illinois Military Academy. In a career that spanned 36 years I never work for, or with a finer soldier or man. God bless him and his family, and may he rest in piece. "Another old soldier going home".
Bud is truly a very special kind and loving man. I met him years ago through the Lion's club. Although I did not see him often over the last few years, he had a way of making me feel very loved and appreciated every time he was around. Sorry, I can not be present for his memorial, but my thoughts are with you. Your memories will always keep him near to your heart. Thinking of you. Ellen Hearn
I worked at "Multi" in Chicago and knew Bud very well. Very sorry for your loss, you and the family are in my prayers. May God bless you!Curt McCallister
