Judy Diggs Beaver (Deceased)
Married my high school sweetheart, Judy Diggs, in 1962 and we celebrated 51 years of marriage in June before she passed in October, 2013. We had four fine sons and seven grandchildren. I spent 35 years with Sylvania Lighting in a variety of positions from managing a distribution center in Hialeah, FL, to various sales positions in several divisions of the company. Judy and I moved with the company to Miami, Orlando, and Atlanta. I retired in January '99 as National Sales Manager DIY, living in Atlanta and working out of Boston.

I was very angry with God for taking Judy from me and not taking me first. One of my friends at recovery suggested that maybe Judy was finished with the plan God had for her on this earth and he took her home to save her from anymore suffering. I was left because I was not finished and have more to do on this earth. So, I have been listening to see what Gods plan is for the rest of my life. One thing I know, it includes Andrea. She is such a wonderful support and encouragement to me.
I look forward to seeing everyone at the next reunion.
