To the Beddoe & Leotaud Family,

I know words are inadequate to ease your pain and grief, but I pray the memories of time spent with Uncle Herman will provide some comfort during the difficult days ahead.  Uncle Herman was the epitome of love and kindness, always such a gentle and giving man who welcomed everyone.  I’ll always cherish his memory and be forever grateful for the wonderful grandfather he was to my children. I can just imagine him accompanying the other angels on his harmonica now. Rest in Paradise sweet man.

Always,
Your Jane


Uncle Herman:

You are part of the very earliest recollections of my life, and I am so thankful to have been blessed by your upbeat and happy presence throughout.  There was never a time we visited together that I would not feel your loving concern for my well-being; your genuine interest in me, Marilyn, and our family; your warmth and gentleness.

While I always tell people that I cannot help but to smile whenever I think of my grandad, the same thing is true whenever I think of you:  I cannot help but to be happy.  You are a man of many qualities to me:  a happy disposition; a caring soul; a loving spirit; a fun-loving personality; a generous heart; a glad, cheering laugh; a warm, calming resonant voice; a devoted husband; a tenderhearted son; a faithful brother; an affectionate, gentle uncle.  Thank you for your influence in my life, throughout the years.  You are already missed, and we love you and what you mean to us.

Aunty Sheila, thank you for your devoted care for Uncle Herman throughout the years, a devotion brought into especially sharp focus as his health declined and as the hard work of caregiving only continued to increase.  You are of a kind from my parents’ generation that I cannot help but to admire.  As more of the maladies that can accompany aging advanced upon Uncle Herman, as the work to care for him became impossibly demanding, you faithfully remained by his side and offered him all the care that anyone could be expected to give—and more.  To try to describe that kind of love by words like “inspiring” is like trying to assign a price to that which is priceless and beyond worth.  May the Lord bless you for your loving care, and may He comfort you to know how much that kind of legacy blesses the entire family and everyone around you.

Your loving nephew,
Larry and Marilyn Roberts and family

On behalf of the Beddoe, Dottino, Bento, Forteau and Morin family, Lionel and I wish to express sincere thanks to Sheila, and her sons, for the love and devotion she extended to her husband Herman, experiencing sleepless nights and untiring care, as her own health was compromised. Finally on the advice of his doctors, and much soul searching, Sheila reluctantly placed him in the hands of professional care, visiting and calling daily. Let us all remember her in our prayers as she mourns this great loss.

Thank you Sheila!

With all our love

Uncle Herman, 

We will all miss you  terribly, especially Daddy, your beloved brother Evans.  A little piece of Dad has gone with you in heaven. 

I know you are playing your harmonica for the angels. Till we all meet again.

Love always and forever, 
Evans, Gloria, Sandy, Cheryl and Jevaughn

Uncle Herman...Our Piano-Man of the Family🤗 How your face lit up when you played your "Fun Machine," as you called it. Watching you perform, Always filled me with wonder to how you were able to simultaneously flaunt your fingers across all of those gadgets, tickle the ivories, and pedal your way through, "Danny Boy," Magnificently, leaving us...your audience, Breathtakingly Eager to  Cry Out, "Play it Again, Sam!" 
Your peaceful voice and glowing smile which radiated like Sun-Rays, ALWAYS Attracted Us to Your Side. 
Though it will be sad not being able to see you again in human form, your Earthbound Essence you left behind will Reminiscently fill our time left on this Planet, with Sweet Memories of You.  
I see death as New Life & You are Finally Free to Live that Life! 
I shall miss You..
❣️Rest in Power❣️

Dear Mr. Herman
It was an absolute pleasure to have known you. You were always so kind to my sons and I. I will miss our chats and your terrific sense of humor.

Rest in eternal peace.

Love, 
Anique, Jayal and Jurrel 

So sad at the passing of my brother-in-law.  May he rest in peace.
He was so attentive to the love of his life, my sister, Sheila.  Yes he loved playing his harmonica and did a great job with it too.  He played many hymns of worship to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He is playing with the angels now.  
He is  asleep now, but will be awakened at the sound of the trumpet, when the dead in Christ shall rise.  
Sheila rest assured that you would meet him in glory!

Herman,

You were indeed a self-starter. You taught yourself to type. So many early mornings, you were typing away in the gallery, like no one could hear you. But bro, you woke up the whole household as you typed away. Also, you had this habit of brushing your hair, over and over, at 5:30 in the morning. I don't know what brush you used, but again, you woke up the whole household! While you looked very handsome, we were very tired and struggled to go back to sleep.

With your determination, you even mastered speaking Japanese. You mastered playing the Fun Machine, and would so often accompany us in song. 

There was no mountain, with God, you could not tunnel through. We will miss you. We love you.

Sheila, you were such a wonderful wife. We appreciate the kind love you gave him. Bless you. Love you Sheila.

Ronald and Annette

Herman, my beloved brother,

Lionel and I are so very grateful for the times we shared together before your passing. Sharing memories and inspirational songs. Know that you will forever be in our thoughts and prayers. We are consoled that one day we will be together again.

Merlene & Lionel

Uncle Herman was a wonderful smart talented and gentlemen. What I remember most is how much he loved his wife and how he would look at her like there was nobody else in the room but him and her. He was a loving father great son and brother and Uncle. He will be missed. Rest in paradise Uncle

To my beloved brother Herman,

I miss you dearly. My heart is grieving as you will no longer be in this world.

Keith and Del

I remembered when Del and I would come to Florida on vacation and Herman would keep me outside playing darts for hours just trying to win one game. He was such a loving and caring man always so welcoming and will give you anything you asked for. He loves to entertain you with his harmonica I know you were playing songs of praise for the Lord.

My grandpa was Herman Beddoe. I don't have many pictures of grandpa but the few I do have are always in my mind and heart. I always remember him a the young vibrant man you see in the picture. We spoke every year whether it was holidays or just to checking in, and you always were interested in what was going on in our lives. Now your an angel with Jeremy. We love and miss you, you will forever be in our hearts. Rest in Paradise grandpa 💗

Herman, who I called H or Mr. H. We were very close. H always demonstrated his love and service for his savior Jesus the Christ and his wife.(As shown in his obituary). H with all his maladies NEVER complained. His only desire, was always to be with his hon. He loved her with a passionate devotion. He may have forgotten most folks; never his hon. In his final days, he sent her a kiss through the closed window. His last, I love you. His hon is my mom; I know.
I will also remember his harmonica playing, playing the little organ and the days he and I took care of the lawn and hung Christmas lights. Now he is with his Lord. Play on brother, play on. 


Mr. Beddoe,

When Brian and I met in third grade and started hanging out at each others houses a few years later, I think you and Mrs. Beddoe knew he and I were going to be tighter than brothers, and you welcomed me into your home and hearts right off the bat. 

I think you were there when we started our band rehearsals on Saturdays in your basement. Drums, Keyboard and (Hawaiian) Guitar. I apologize for the noises we must have made.

I want to thank you for treating me and caring for me like family. I have learned so much from you and your entire family. With love and gratitude I Thank You.

Sleep Well Mr. Beddoe.

 We are so saddened by your passing but we have the comforting thought that we will all see you again. Your memory will always bring a smile to our faces and joy to our hearts as we reminisce on the beautiful music from your harmonica , your happy spirit and Love for our Lord.

R I P Uncle Herman

Ronald, Theresa, Tracy, Chris  and family.

Dear Uncle Herman;

I feel fortunate that I was able to spend Christmas with you a couple of years ago and introduce you to my daughter.   I have so many memories. My favorite was watching wrestling with you as a kid, and playing on the fun machine.  I know your in a better place  now and playing your harmonica for the lord. I miss you and love you. 

Dad to me, late 70's early 80's taking me to skating rinks. Going to tennis U..S open in Flushing Meadows Park, Him and i just destroying the free food tent. The adventures of learning to drive. Sadness when i went of to the military.  Joy, when i returned on vacation.  Shooting darts in the garage and giving me life lessons i use to this day.  The pride i had introducing him to my wife and wanting his blessing ( which he gave). Dad and i run deep, very deep. Sometimes you teach by talking, sometimes you don3even know you are teaching at all. My observation of the interaction between him and my mother showed me how a man treats a women, how a man values a women, how man behaves as a man. I miss him so much. I love you more then words can say.


Dear Uncle Herman,

You always gave your love so gently and unconditionally to all of us and we all loved you too. 
I thank God that you were a part of our lives.  I will be eternally grateful for your constant and unwavering devotion to my mother.
Just the thought of you evokes a wonderful sense of calm. 

       I remember you playing the harmonica and everyone singing to " It is well with my soul". I remember the family trips we went on together and so many happy times. I will treasure every memory of you in my heart always,

Rest in peace dear Uncle Herman. We will meet again on your side of heaven.

Love always Francine


Thank you Uncle Herman

Uncle Herman was a good man. He was a loving husband. Honest, loyal, faithful, attentive, humble. At times, he was also a father figure to me when my own could not be. There are many basic life lessons and truths I have learned, simply by being present, watching and listening, while Uncle Herman lived a transparent life. 

Uncle Herman was a true Christian. He had integrity, took the time to patiently listen, and was sincere. Uncle Herman didn’t just give random unsolicited “advice” that he himself did not follow - he walked the walk instead of just talking the talk. He would actually pray and intercede for you. 

Uncle Herman was a positive male role model in my life, for all of my life. Because of him and Grandma, I got to see real love “done right.” I will miss visiting and hearing him call Grandma “Hun.” I will miss watching Uncle Herman play games like Rummikub with Grandma, and just watching them together. I always admired Uncle Herman. If God lent me a partner that was even half the husband that Uncle Herman was, I would truly be blessed beyond measure. 

Hearing Uncle Herman playing the harmonica and the Fun Machine was such a treasure - it is largely because of him I developed such a love for music and an interest in actually learning to play musical instruments. He would sit with me and let me try to play the Fun Machine, show me sheet music. He would patiently explain the notes and the chords to me, and let me try to play on my own too. 

I love you and I miss you, Uncle Herman. Thank you for being a positive example and an inspiration. You have earned your peaceful rest in the arms of the Lord.  

Love, 
Liz

Herman Beddoe: The  Man

Herman taught me everyday what it means to be a real man and husband. We Trinidadian men often associate being macho and tough with being a man. Herman on the other hand lived the qualities of true man hood. He was a gentleman, he was kind,he had a great sense of humor, he was devoted to my mother, he was gentle. He was a man that always dressed and had a sense of appropriate formality. If I can be half the man he was,  my own marriage would reach new heights of happiness , contentment and success . Thank you Herman for this lesson and gift on how to be a man and husband.

May God keep you in eternal peace and happiness


Countryside and New Hope family. 

Herman and Sheila were my life savers in my walk with the Lord. They patiently waited and lovingly help me walk this wonderful path to new life with Christ, 20 years ago. We were neighbors in Greenbriar and they were prayer warriors in my attending Countryside. I am forever thankful. 
Rose. . 💔💔🙏🙏

Dear Shelia,
Jim and I send you our most sincere condolences on the home-going of Herman.  We have such fond memories of all of us praising our wonderful Lord and Savior together.  We so enjoyed Herman’s talent with the harmonica and fun memories of the beautiful celebration at the ELW Country Club.  We treasure and thank God for all our wonderful memories.
May God bless you and keep you and give you peace during this difficult time.
With love,
Jim and Linda Lieupo


Uncle Herman,

You were more than “Uncle”, you were Grandpa to us all. You showed us so much love since we were kids and I will never forget you. I have a lifetime of memories. I love you very much! I hope you’re playing harmonica for Jesus. Rest in his loving arms. LOVE, Kenisha, Zachary, Alexander, Austin, Avery and Jasmine. 

One of the sweetest men I’ve ever known, and the best grandfather anyone could ask for. I love you, and will miss you always ❤️

A great man: charming, warm, intelligent and funny. You will be missed!

Uncle Herman was a man of great dignity and intelligence. He knew fluent Hindi from his private school upbringing in his native Trinidad. He was a math wiz, and embraced new technology. He taught himself to speed type, well over a hundred words a minute. I remember visiting him at his job in the Pan-Am building in NYC in the early 1980s, where he demonstrated to us a fax machine! It was a marvel to me when he sent one document from one machine from his desk, to the other fax machine behind him! He always had a smile on his face and kind, warm eyes. His voice was very mellow, and calm, with an infectious laugh. He took great care with his appearance, lifting weights, watching what he ate, and impeccable grooming. I will miss his sweet smile. I strongly feel we now have a guardian angel in Heaven. We love you Uncle Herman!
