Al Beggs
 |
It is with deep regret and heavy heart that I pass this on.
I have just received a call from Al Beggs son Michael letting me know that Al passed away sometime yesterday (March 9, 2005) at his apartment of a massive heart attack. As I understand it, Michael and his sister Debbie Hart are the only surviving relatives. Debbie has flown in from her home in Hawaii to help with arrangements. They are planning on Al's obituary to be in the weekend Chronicle. I have no information about interrment yet, but do know that a memorial service is NOT being planned. In lieu of flowers, the family is asking that a donation be made instead to the Houston Area Live Steamers because of Al's years of devotion to HALS. Donations may be sent to our treasurer Virginia Freitag, 1835 Alta Vista, Houston, TX. 77023. If I hear anything more, I will post it immediately. Al was an icon at HALS and will be missed by his many friends. Doug Blodgett |
