Tom Beatty Leaves Legacy Of Kindness-Alexandra Star

It was with true sadness that I read last week about our community's loss of TRAILS employee and all around great guy, Tom Beatty. Tom was truly committed to helping others and was a genuinely nice man. I will miss Tom, as will many others.

As a PRIDE employee, I was personally able to witness the impact of Tom's kindness on several developmentally disabled individuals and was always impressed with his positive attitude and can-do spirit. It was infectious. I often saw Tom in the high school pool with his young daughter and was always struck by the level of his involvement as a father, as well.

It is my sincerest hope that his family is able to take comfort in the knowledge that Tom touched many lives in a very positive manner and will not be forgotten for his legacy of kindness.
