Garden Party celebrating the life of John 'Jack' Beach 4 pm Sunday, May 15, 2022

Come join us for the Garden Party that Jack never had in life. John "Jack" Schuyler Beach passed awau in 2021 at the age of 91. He is survived by his wife of 64 years, Martha, their three children Christopher (Nancy Goroff) Beach, Bly (Kevin) Hartley and Alison (David Jaeger) Beach and four grandchildren: Charles and Tom Beach, and Andrew and Eliza Jaeger. Jack was born in Rye, New York where he and Martha lived and raised their children. In 1995, they moved to Winterville and relocated the environmental instrument business they had founded together in 1967 to Crawford. They worked together until 2014 when they both retired and passed the company on to their children. Jack was very active in theater at Rye High School and returned to the stage with Arts!Oglethorpe. He enjoyed playing an assortment of roles in musicals with his daughter Bly, and many others in the community. Jack will be remembered by many for his infectious wit, curiosity about all things, and his perpetually rosy outlook on life. - Above published in the Athens Banner Herald, October 27, 2021 The train has left the station one last time. Jack Beach headed out on Tuesday night peacefully at home. He had many happy days on stage with Arts!Oglethorpe and in the audience once his acting days were over. Each was the "Best Show Ever..." Remember him snoozing back stage with Dick Anderson and getting a little "drunker" every night during Guys and Dolls, making even the smallest part entertaining (that is, if you weren't waiting on a cue from him), and always having a smile on his face a spring in his step. Thanks to all who helped him along! - Above published on facebook October 1, 2021 Modified 1 May 2022 by Glenn Galau   |   Web Design by Glenn Galau
