Elmer Beale

We are deeply sorry for your loss ~ Gunderson Funeral Home - Madison

For Elmer Beale's niece, Dawn - I'm sorry for your loss. I'm the UW Arboretum naturalist who does the hikes and programs about Lake Forest, the "Lost City" which became part of the Arboretum. You and I met and corresponded a couple of years ago and you sent me some delightful family photos and reminiscences about the Beale family and their time in Lake Forest. Even the school bus and Elmer's race car! It looks like he was the last of his generation? Those losses are especially hard. My condolences to the family. Kathy Miner

I was a wrestling teammate of Elmers in my first 3 years at UW. While Wrestling at Madison East I had seen him wrestle and was well aware of how good he was and how much he had impacted my ambition in those early years ( he was 2years older than I ). For me and I’m sure many others, Elmer put on quite a show . As time passed, I came to be a teacher and a wrestling coach. I am very saddened to read of his passing and wish that I had told him about his influence on me. My condolences to his family. David Monroe
