Rick, Donsia, Richard, Sage and Dakota are deeply saddened by the loss of our friend and business mentor. We could also always count on Beau and Dorothy to check in on us and graciously share their lives and optimism. We are proud and honored to have shared a part of his life. Beau always treated us like a father, brother and uncle. He always gave great profesional or humorous advice which continues to be valuable. Dorian and David, know that when the Creator made Beau, he only made one. May the Creator bless Beau and each of you.

Dorian, David, and Dorothy,
In recognition of the fact that Beau had an awesome sense of humor, I would never get sappy because Beau would haunt me forever. Of course in the countless conversations Beau and I had over the years, he always reminded me that keeping a sense of humor is important and ultimately necessary in keeping a family together.
Dorian, you bring me neverending laughter and comic relief everyday and I really appreciate your friendship and the wonderful woman Beau raised you to become. I am here if you need me!
