Frederick A. Beebe

Beebe, Frederick A. of Hull and Charlestown, departed this life on April 17, 2016.  

Fred brought a smile to everyone he met. He was gentle and strong, a natural provider and a selfless man.  Affectionately called Ricky by his family and friends, he adored his wife Paulette and daughter Tarrah, who was the twinkle in his eye.  He made sure to let everyone know how much he cared about them, and was a vessel through which God spread joy and compassion. Fred celebrated his faith as a Eucharistic Minister, teacher and youth group leader at St Ann’s in Hull, and a Grand Knight with the Hull Chapter of the Knights of Columbus.  In his “spare” time, you could find him up New Hampshire taking a sunset cruise on his pontoon boat, Livin’ Lahhge.  To Fred, “living large” was cherishing the little things: sending phone hugs, playing Santa Claus, taking care of his loved ones.  He was the life of the party even if that meant doing the cooking and cleaning behind the scenes. 

Fred was a CPA with a Bachelor’s Degree from Bentley College and an MBA from Boston University.  He served multiple roles at the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, most recently as Director of Audit at the School Building Authority and also as Deputy Commissioner of the Department of Revenue’s Audit Division.  Fred was a mentor to so many in his profession and in life. 

Fred will be greatly missed by all who knew him, but his memory will bring a smile to the faces of all whose lives he touched.
