To the Bill Beckman Family, please accept our heartfelt sympathy. There are no words to describe the loss of a loved one, but we know you have many happy memories that will always be in your heart. God bless. Sent with love, Jim and Peggy (Pop and Gram) FItzSimmons

My father, Dale Potts, worked with Billy for many years at PennDOT. My sister, brother and I knew him from the time I were children. There are many fond memories of Billy, my Dad, and others of the PennDOT family, and when reminiscing those days, Billy always comes to mind. We were all so glad to see him at my father's 90th birthday party, 4 years ago. My father has also passed since then, and will, I'm sure, be waiting with others of that crew to greet him in heaven! The thoughts, prayers and best wishes of the Potts family are with the Beckman family at this time. Godspeed, Billy!

Bill was a good man that truly loved his wife and his family. May the loving memories you hold in your heart, help you find comfort and peace in the days ahead. Monaca lost a great 1st Ward neighbor. He will be missed!
