Tom Beebe

Thomas "Tom" Earl Beebe, 74, passed away peacefully on January 6, 2010, with his wife, daughter and dear friends by his side after living a very loving life devoted to family and friends.  His family is grateful to hospice for their loving care of Tom during his final months of struggling with a form of progressive dementia.

Tom was born on December 27, 1935, in Pasadena, California and was a resident of San Diego for over 30 years.  He was most grateful for his 38 years of sobriety and devoted his life to service for others.

He was a graduate of USC and had a successful career in the commercial marine insurance industry.  He was a past president of The Propeller Club of San Diego.

After retirement, Tom pursued his love of ceramics and spent his time creating beautiful pieces of ceramic art, enjoying his daily golf game, spending time with his family, and traveling with his wife.

He is survived by his wife Diana, his daughters Jennifer and Ara, his son Robert, and his grandchildren Eric and Bobby.
