MY GRANDPARENTS, JOE AND MARIA
This page is dedicated to my wonderful Grandparents. They raised me the right way.
My Grand Parents, Joe and Maria Beverage
They were the BEST Parents anyone could ask for! They taught me to be Honest, Respectable, and Manners among other Things. I fell out of line.....ALOT when I was a kid and got a good ol Spanking to the butt every time, sometimes pretty hard. There is a lot of stories I could tell about my grandfather, Joe, but it is way to many. He, unfortunately, passed away at 70, when I was just 15 years old. He was a Salesman who Sold Fasteners for The Company Tifco, and he was Super skilled at it. He would be on the road but would be home with us every weekend. He was a wonderful Man and a Wonderful Father.
V. Joseph Beverage
( 1917-1987)
A Wonderful, Wonderful Man! He Loved His Job and his family. He worked for a company called Tifco selling Fasteners and Screwdrivers. This was before we had Home Depot and Amazon at our fingertips. He Loved us and did anything to make sure we were provided for. He left us when He was 70, from a heart attack, but what he taught me has stuck. I was 15 when he passed. He will always be in my heart.
Maria G. Beverage
I owe her everything I know She Taught me so much and is a
very upstanding Lady. She has always been strong. She has always been a kind, loving Lady who cares about others. She ran The Christian Care Ministries here in Picayune, and helped many, many older people in need of food or a place to stay when she ran it. She also Oversaw the development of an Apartment building called "The Pines" which is still running today. She basically raised me by herself, seeing as her husband, my grandfather passed when I was 15. For years, she continued to volunteer work at the hospital, doing what she loved to do best. Helping People.
She is now 95, and still with us.
