Richard T. Bealer age 61 of Wayne died unexpectedly on Saturday, October 24, 2009 of a heart attack at the Emeritus/Gardens of Wayne. His passing into heaven was quiet and peaceful.
He was born in Paterson and at the age of eleven months he contracted spinal meningitis. Although doctors predicted his imminent demise he did survive and had multiple health problems that challenged his abilities for the rest of his life.
Rich was able to go to school and graduated from Paterson Grammar School No 2. With his father’s help he became a Boy Scout in the Paterson Handicapped Scouts.
Through all of those early health problems he was gifted with a wonderful and gregarious, good humored personality that shined brightly. Because of this positive gift he had many friends, was well liked and offered always to help others.
He was employed for twenty-eight years as a Culinary Specialist at the Preakness Hospital in Wayne.
Richard was a faithful parishioner of Our Lady of The Valley RC Church in Wayne.
Surviving are his sister Barbara O’Brien and her husband Edmund of Paterson; one brother Michael Bealer of Paterson; three nieces Judith Colao and her husband Joseph Bubet of Elmwood Park, Michele Colao of Paterson, Jennifer Bealer of Massachusetts; one nephew Michael Bealer Jr. of Tennessee.
