I just found out Dick Beardsmore passed. I only worked with him a short time but learned more from him than any university course.  His work influences my architectural career to this day.

Dear Brett and Sandy,
When my husband was diagnosed with prostate cancer Dick wrote him a note of support that was so compassionate, so kind, and so unexpected, that David didn't know how to respond.  You see, Dick and David never really knew each other, in spite of the fact that they were neighbors only 2 streets apart.  But Dick's support for someone whose situation he had heard of but didn't know well was never forgotten.  Dick's warmth and generous spirit was a balm to my husband's spirit at that time and marked a turning point for David in terms of his acceptance of the situation.  Please accept my sincere sympathy for your loss.

Dear Beardmore Family: We were so sorry to learn of Dick's passing. It was a pleasure to sing with him in the Larimer Chorale. His talent, kind presence and cheerful smile will be missed there, as well as by the historic preservation projects that benefited from his work. Our hearts are with you during this time of remembrance and adjustment.  Vicki and Don Mykles.

I wish you much love, peace, and comfort during this time of sadness and grief.  I am respectful of Dick, and grateful to have known him thru the church and our similar careers, and especially times we worked together on the Church Trustees. I send you love and healing, and wishes for you all to be comforted knowing his spirit will be with you, until you meet again.

Brett and family we send our deepest sympathy on the loss of your father....we are Shane Andrews parents and he told us about how much he loved your dad and you Brett....God Bless you and comfort you at this time of need....

Dick's contributions to the value of historic preservation are noteworthy. He will be missed. You are in my thoughts.

Dear Sandy & Brett
We recently moved from Ft Collins to northern Idaho, but still keep up with Colorado news.  We were sorry to learn of Dick's passing.  He was a great neighbor.  Our neighborhood on Kiowa Ct was such a great experience.  We will always remember Dick as a kind and compassionate neighbor, and especially remember his working on a project in the garage.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and Brett.  John & Kathleen

Sandy,
I was so sorry to read of Dick's passing.  I am glad to have met him and wish it could have been under different circumstances.  I'm sorry that I won't be able to attend his service as I am out of town for a couple of weeks.  Please know that my thoughts are with you.

Dick was such a cheerful guy.  He left a legacy of preserved buildings in Colorado--a lasting legacy that many future generations will enjoy.  Thank you, Dick and rest in peace.

Having worked with Dick over a period of several years to reconstruct the hip-style roof on the historic Animas Museum building in Durango, I can say that we always looked forward to his visits. Through all the difficulties of the project - and there were many - Dick was always cordial, friendly and a pleasure to be around. We certainly shared the passion of preserving significant historic structures, and he unquestionably leaves an important legacy in our state. The fact that the La Plata County Historical Society received the 2008 Governor's Award (for historic preservation) was due in no small part to Dick's key role in our project. May he rest in peace.

I had the privilege of knowing and caring for Dick for many years.  His positiveness was always evident.  I will miss seeing him.  He was someone you will never forget.

Dick was a fantastic individual - quick with a smile, gentle, and always willing to have a conversation about topics big and small.

His death is a loss that is large for both his loved ones and our community.
