Johnny
Dale Beck, born May 23, 1941 in Ryderwood, passed away February 10, 2020. He
was a life-long Winlock resident.
John attended school in Winlock then enlisted
in the Army, serving from 1959-62 in Germany and Korea. He met his wife Sally
during the Columbus Day storm, and they married in 1963.
He was a logger with Weyerhaeuser for 46
years. After retiring he continued to work at farming and logging. He was a
hard worker and would do anything to help family and friends.
John was a private pilot and loved to fly. Many
who knew him reflexively look up when they hear a small plane, to see if it’s
him tilting his wings to say hello. He and Sally enjoyed going to grandkids’
sporting events and to the casino. He liked breakfast with the guys, reading,
hunting and life on the farm. He was a Mason.
John is survived by his wife Sally; brother
Raymond (Jo) Beck; children Kathy, Steve, Michelle and Annette; grandchildren
Casara, Zabrinna, Trevor, Kasen and Brooklyn; and great-grandchildren Carter, Cayden
and Dax. He was preceded in death by parents Leonard Beck and Ellen Zion, brother
Tom Beck, newborn son Bobby, and stepfathers Stanley Perkins and Joe Zion.
