Craig R. Beacham, age 57 of Wayne died on Sunday, June 3, 2012.
Born in Passaic, Craig grew up in Packanack Lake. He was afflicted with Cerebral Palsy since birth but pushed himself through school and graduated from Passaic County Technical High School in 1973. He began working as a lathe operator in a Wayne factory where he worked for many years. Later, he moved with his mother to Lake Ariel, Pennsylvania and became a plumber’s helper. He enjoyed that line of work up until 2008. He then moved back to Packanack Lake to live with his sister and brother-in-law in 2010. He always enjoyed woodworking projects and tinkering around. He also did quite a bit of fishing, boating, played video games and traveled with his mother. He rode horseback to Havasu Village in Grand Canyon and also vacationed on a houseboat at Lake Powell. His favorite vacation spot was Williamsburg, Virginia. He didn’t let his disability hold him back from much, but he never the less longed to simply be ‘normal’ and free of any handicap. Surely he is free of such ailments now, enjoying his reward in Heaven.
Craig is survived by his sister Cathy McManus and her husband Jack of Wayne, and his two nieces; Cara Aranda and Jackie Sampogna. He was predeceased by his mother Colleen Beacham in 1995, his father Robert in 1970, and his brother Bruce in 2009.
