I wanted my Father's Squadron to know that my father, Cpl. Winfred Allan Beamon, passed away Tuesday 08/16/2011. He was living in assisted living in Chesapeake, VA. He had Alzheimer but was still physically healthy and still knew who his family was. He went quietly in his sleep. His heart just gave up. He was 91 years old. We will miss him so very much.
