Dear Roxi and Carma,
     My sincerest condolences.  Ed was the most wonderful man and a privilege to work for in the mid to late '70's.  Like many others before and after me I was fortunate to have such a great aviator  encourage and inspire me and teach me the craft of rebuilding airplanes.  I walked into his shop one day, was hired and spent the next 6 years learning from a man with a sense of humor, who cared about his crew and who was quick to brag you up in front of his customers (""in lieu of higher pay,"" as he would often say).  Many times Ed would come to me in the middle of the day and tell me to ""put on your flying goggles"" and fly the company plane someplace to do a delivery or to help ferry a damaged plane home. What a thrill to put  my rivet gun down and go flying.  And then there were the wreck recoveries--picking them up and trailering them back to the shop from out on the tundra or up in the mountains--all great adventures and memories.
        I was one of the fortunate ones, able to take the skills and business attitudes that I learned in Ed's shop and parlay them into a business which I still run to this day.  Ed sold the shop 6 months before I moved on to the Pacific Northwest, but I always would stop in to see him at ""Poor Old Ed's"" over the years, any time I was home to visit my Colorado family. And Ed was always so appreciative that I would stop in.  Last summer he was recovering from his back surgery so I missed him.
           Whenever I count my blessings, I will always remember the Aviation Hall of Famer who I had such a privilege to know and who gave me my start and my career.

Dearest Roxi,
You and others close to you know your dedication and passion for spending time with your Dad (and Mom prior to her passing), particularly in their times of need. I have no doubt you have most always enjoyed time with your parents. You are an example to follow no doubt! I was so hopeful after your Dad's successful back surgery that you would have some good years ahead together...and then the fall that led to Starcare.

Good to hear it was peaceful for your Dad at the very end!
God Bless, Nancy

Dear Roxi,
  Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your sister at this difficult time.  I know your memories will bring tremendous comfort.

  Debbie and Joe

Roxi, what a great gift to run into you this morning at the gym and see that despite your loss, you still have maintained your sense of humor and great outlook on life. Thank you for that. I know that you & Carma will miss your parents so much. I am happy that you've had so many good memories to cherish in the upcoming years & know they will be a source of blessing to you. Much love & condolences, Lisa

I wrote this as an email to Ed last night (12/29/11) not knowing he had passed away Christmas Eve.  I worked at Beegles Aircraft from 1976-79, ""running parts.""  Ed was great to work for, and there was never a dull moment around the shop.  I have thought of him often over the years and will continue to do so.  

Dear Ed,
I was so happy to get your Xmas photo and an update on how you are doing.  I'm sorry to hear you've had some back problems and I hope you are cooperating with the Physical Terrorists in rehab - that's what my dad called them when he had two knees and a hip replaced (though not at the same time!)  I'm sure you have kept your sense of humor through the pain, I can't imagine you being a grumpy 80+ year old.  I hope you get to go home soon - it was good to see your Evans address on the envelope.


You were always so nice to me back in my Greeley days - I didn't know what I wanted to do or where I wanted to be.  Thinking back, my time in Greeley and working for you and Ray was so much fun.  I enjoyed getting up and going to work, as there was always something interesting going on.  I remember that day you and I drove down to Duff's (??) in Denver to look for some engine parts and walking around his warehouse of used things - it was kind of creepy.  And, just the other day I was telling some one how I drove over, and crushed, an $800 cowling (by mistake!) and the only reason I didn't get fired was because I burst into tears - I bet you would of fired one of those young guys bucking rivets had it been them.  I also remember we dumped some old washing machine in a field across from the airport once - you just gunned the truck and the thing fell off - not very ecological by today's standards!  And my parents still remember you buying me new tires for my car (until they could pay you back), they appreciated you looking out for me.

My heartfelt condolences to Roxi & Carma & family. I can see that your dad was a special individual that made an impact and a difference in this world with his passion of flying & will be deeply missed, with sympathy, FaFa

Roxi,
You were so blessed to have such wonderful parents.  Cherish the memories. They will soon become a source of comfort rather than pain.

Roxi - My thoughts and prayers are with you and Carma. I hope you find some measure of comfort in knowing that you are loved and that I'm holding you close to my heart.

So sorry for the loss of your father, Roxi. You and your Dad have the same smile! My thought and prayers are with you to get through this sad time. Your Mom and Dad are together again looking down on you and your sister. Love ya, Jackie

I always enjoyed hearing Roxi's stories of both Edward and Jean! I too am happy their souls can reconnect once again, and know that their love and laughter ripples on through Roxi & Carma. To both of you, I am so sorry for your loss, and wish you peace, healing, and love.

I never had the honor of meeting Mr. Beegles, but I have had the privilege of know his daughter Roxie for over ten years. Through her, I felt like I knew him well. I've heard all about the planes and old cars he loved and what they meant to him. I know his passing is a loss to Roxie, but right now, both Mr. & Mrs. Beegles are together again and they are going on a ride in the country in a 57 Chevy Bel Air convertible and loving every minute of it!

Dear Roxi,

I know this day has been a long time coming for you, but as I have said many times before you will always have good memories up the the last minute of your dads life. You have been by his side and have even been with him when he passed.  Not many of us can say that. You will never regret any of it !  I know how difficult it must be for you right now. Hold your head up high and know that he and your mom are now together forever.  

Hugs, Susie

My thoughts and prayers are with you Roxie and Carma.  I saw your father just a few months ago.  He remembered me from dancing when we were young.  Both your parents were wonderful people--keep all you memories of them with you always.   Debby Doher-Rogers

Carma and Roxi,
I have such fond memories of time at your house during 7th grade, especially.  Sorry to know your folks are both gone now.  Deepest sympathy, Karen

Roxi
My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. 
My condolences to you.

My thoughts and prayers are with you.  May the happy memories carry you through this sorrowful time.

Roxi and Family,

What a great man... if you are any example of the wonderful things he produced and accomplished... he was a great man!  I know how much you will miss him, but take comfort that he is with your mom... up in that big, vast sky he loved so much.

All my thoughts and prayers,

Molly

Rox and Family,

You all are in our thoughts and prayers. I love the picture of your dad with his plane! 

Love,
Laura and Rusty

Dear Roxi and family, 

My thoughts and prayers are with you. I've enjoyed hearing your stories of your Dad.

Roxi & Carma

My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time. Thank you for the pleasure of meeting your father. Ed was a wonderful man that brought joy to many people. He will be dearly missed.
