"Dear members of the Beauvais Family,We are so sorry to hear of Richards passing. He was the family accountant for George and Gladys Surbuts for many years. He was especially helpful to my husband and I as we closed my parents estate just this past year. He was always pleasant and kind. He took time with us to understand the details of tax filings. We are most grateful. Our deepest sympathy, Richard Jamara and Barbara Surbuts Jamara"
