the agency was acquired by a larger brokerage firm, which then merged with even larger firms. Bill rose to become President of the succeeding firm, Willis Corroon Corporation, now trading simply as Willis.During his career Bill served both the insurance and construction communities with committed devotion. Over the years he served on countless committees and boards , representing both insurance and construction interests at the local, state and national levels. He was considered a true "professional" in the field of casualty insurance as it relates to construction. Whether it was his family, his four grandchildren, his professional colleagues, his sailing "mates," his golfing pals or his clients, Bill was a devoted friend. He was always available and always ready to help. On long distance sailing adventures, Bill would always stand the worst watches so others could get more rest. He had a big heart and a bigger smile. He will be sorely missed by all who knew him.There will be a Celebration of Life service on Sunday, March 11, 2007 at 3:00pm in Sunset Hills United Presbyterian Church. 900 Country Club Drive, Mt.Lebanon, PA Burial will be &
Bill loved the class of 62! He loved you all. It's hard to believe its been 5years (on March 7th) that Billy has been gone.

Bill Beck, my dearest friend from first grade on. Bill taught me how to do the butterfly and his brother got me playing the guitar. Our families were like one and we shared the same maid Laura who kept us straight when we were young.
South Hills CC as kids all summer in the pool to sailing with Bill in the Chessie and in the Windward Islands....to playing golf the last few years in Naples and Boca.
I will never forget him and miss him all the time.....so fond many memories. George, I will be hoisting a scotch for him on the 7th of March and will call his brother Dick too.
God Bless Bill Beck.....never angry, never a bad day and never said a bad thing about anyone. Wish we all could be more like Bill Beck.

"She had everything but years" shared one friend on learning of the Easter
Sunday death of Kathryn Roby Bingham of Norfolk, Virginia. Known as "The Book
Lady of Ghent," Ms. Bingham is survived by her son, J. Littleton Glover Ill of London, United Kingdom; daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Kreeger Ulsh (Bingham) and their son "Drew" of Newnan, GA; her golden retriever companion "Lily''; niece Christine Van de Mark and nephews John and Michael Mitchell.
Choosing a career move to Virginia, she chose Norfolk, living a stone's throw from the birthplace of her beloved father, Christopher Frank Bingham.
A loyal aficionado of the fiber arts, Kathryn could make or do anything with a piece of cloth. Her keen interest in the arts drew her to pursue programs at the Chrysler Museum, where she assumed various volunteer and professional positions, as well as the Moses-Meyers Museum House in historic downtown Norfolk. Many a visitor remarked, "we could always rely on Kathryn to do a stunning flower design in the entryway."
Her knitting friends added, "The walls of the home she cherished serve as a backdrop for a treasure trove of artistry she produced over several decades. We'll miss her style, her robust sense of humor at our shows and what about those great treats she could whip up on cue? Rachel Ray had nothing on Kathryn!"
Christened in the Episcopal Diocese of Pittsburgh, PA, Kathryn began her lifelong faith journey with a loving God. Throughout her life, all recall her overwhelming compassion for those less fortunate, with a focus on children. "She didn't just talk the talk but walked the walk. When you needed it, Kathryn would give you the shirt off her back or the homemade soup in her kitchen." Many a congregant at Christ St. Luke's Episcopal Church rave about the homemade treats she has shared over the years after the services.
Kathryn graduated high school as a National Merit Scholar. After receiving her B.A. in 1966 from Sweet Briar College, she pursued an M.A. in social work at the University of Virginia. She married J. Littleton Glover Jr., father of Littleton & Bingham, on June 9, 1967 at Grace Episcopal Church of Cismont, VA.
The young couple moved to Newnan, Georgia. Kathryn's career with children began as an elementary teacher at Western School as the first grade teacher and she continued in this same position at The Heritage School thereafter. She later finalized her earlier graduate work at the University of Virginia by enrolling at Smith College, earning her Master's in Social Work (MSW) qualifying as a

George,
Thanks for posting the remembrance. Carol called me yesterday to let me know of Craig’s passing. Very sad.
Craig was an absolute original. His dad had been a professional toastmaster and, as a result, Craig was the only person I knew who owned a shocking pink, high quality tuxedo. Craig, Dave Manoogian, Nick Mager and I were the unholy quartet in the Beverly Heights UP Church youth group, and the tuxedo got some use several times in the various skits we put together for youth nights, summer camps, etc. I can’t believe that Dave and Craig are now both gone.
The film the four of us put together (The Sculptor’s Daughter, or A Day in the Life of a Chiseler) was originally for the BHUP youth group, but we had it blown up to 16mm so that it could be projected in the Mt. Lebo auditorium for the Senior Variety Show. Craig wrote the lion's share of the script with me, and played the part of Little Nell Burnit, daughter of Dad Burnit, in a dress with a mop on his head as a wig (Little Nell, right!). When we were filming the scene where Black Jack O'Diamonds (Manoogian) ties Little Nell to the railroad tracks (film location was the Castle Shannon streetcar tracks), Craig was all tied down on the tracks when the streetcar decided to come along. We had to scramble to get him off the tracks!
Craig and I were crazy about cars (so was Manoogian, but that’s another story). One memorable (read stupid) stunt one afternoon was a backwards drag race down Crestvue Manor Drive from Beverly Heights to my house with each of us sitting on the driver’s window sills of our respective cars, racing in reverse. Someone else must have been in each car working the accelerators and brakes, but I can’t remember that detail. I do remember that one of the fathers on our street (might have been Frank Concilus’ dad) ran out and yelled to his kids to get inside because there were “crazy people” out there. Surprisingly, my parents never heard about it.
Craig loved to lay tire. His favorite technique was to back up pretty fast, drop the transmission into Neutral, floor the accelerator, and then drop it into Drive while still going backwards. This was pretty spectacular. For some reason his dad never did figure out why he was getting such poor life out of his rear tires. He also had to get his transmission rebuilt surprisingly frequently. Craig did this one night in front of Nick Mager’s house on the bricks that were the pavement on Park Entrance. Left a world record patch, but Nick’s dad heard it and was so mad that Nick nearly got grounded, and all he did was stand outside and wave goodbye!
Craig and I had managed to stay in touch over the years, and I still consider him one of my best friends. I am sure he will be missed by everyone who knew him. As I said above, he was one of a kind. A true original. Godspeed, Craig.

Dick was such a sweet boy, and I regret not having been more
kind to him when he tried to woo me. He was a Friend, and his family was such a rock of strength to him. They had no TV, and I should have seen more clearly how important that was.
We met and talked at length at the last Reunion we both attended about where life's currents had taken us. I will miss
seeing him at LEBO 50/50. He would have been the first to share his story with the Seniors of '13. Love to you, Dick
