RECOGNIZING THE LIFE OF WAYNE C. BECKMAN

______

HON. JACK BERGMAN

of michigan

in the house of representatives

Tuesday, July 26, 2022

Mr. BERGMAN. Madam Speaker, it is my honor to recognize the life of servicemen Wayne C. Beckman, who recently passed away on July 1, 2022, at the age of 88. A proud U.S. Navy Veteran and a lifelong member of the American Legion, Wayne was an indispensable part of Michigan's First District.

Wayne, a lifelong Yooper and native of Ironwood, enlisted in the U.S. Navy in 1951 and served in the Korean War aboard the USS Moale as a Radarman. Throughout his service, he was awarded the National Defense, Korean Service, United Nations, and Navy Occupation Medals. One of his most prized accomplishments was sailing around the world before turning 18 years old. After nearly three years, Wayne was honorably discharged in 1954. After his service to our Nation, he returned home where he met his wife, Bonita Beckman. They were married in 1958 and raised four children together. Wayne was also a proud grandfather and great-

grandfather. He was known as a ``pillar of the community,'' and enjoyed attending his kids' and grandkids' extracurricular activities.

Madam Speaker, on behalf of Michigan's First District, I ask you to join me in honoring the life and service of Wayne C. Beckman. His dedication to his country, community; and family will never be forgotten.
