This webpage is a celebration of the life of George J. Beaudet. Here, we hope that those who knew him can share in their memories, thoughts, stories, and expressions of condolence. This page lets you leave a tribute message, but there are many other ways to share by using the Life, Gallery, and Stories tabs. Please fill this site with your memories of George.
George leaves behind his beloved wife of 32 years, Bridget; six children, Don, Bob, Mary, Betsy, Kate, and Richard (deceased); two stepsons, Wilde (deceased) and Brock; 14 grandchildren; brother of Paul, Richard (both deceased), Terri (Fogarty), and Charles; and many close relatives and friends. Born in Massachusetts and raised in Wisconsin, the son of George and Irene, George's adventurous spirit led him to live in numerous places across the United States, following his dreams and wanderlust.
As a boy, George showed early signs of entrepreneurism that would later chart the course of his life. He followed the typical script for a while--proudly serving in the military and starting a family with a 9 to 5 job--but George preferred to write his own script. When George was profiled in a local newspaper by Alastair Baker, his entrepreneurial spirit was summed up this way: "He simply has always been with the trend, looking ahead before the sun has even had a chance to bed down." To that end, George worked in radio, managed bands, put on stage productions, established a T-shirt design and production shop, worked in ad sales and air travel sales, and launched an LED lightbulb factory! While George lived and breathed whatever business he was hatching, his biggest motivation was the friends he made. George's generosity and infectious laugh were known by all.
We hope that this site provides an opportunity for those of you who knew George, in whatever capacity, to share in your thoughts and expressions of condolence, but also to celebrate and remember George's life. Please feel free to share images, stories, videos, or anything else that makes you think of the wonderful person that George was and the life that he lived.
Zoom funeral service will be held on Tuesday, May 19 at 11am EST. If you're interested in viewing, please email George's daughter, Mary at mbonamer-at-gmail-dot-com and a link will be sent. We will hold a memorial celebration of his life at a later date.
