RIP - Don Beveridge (1932-2022)

 

RIP to Don Beveridge who has passed away at the age of 90.

A week before his death, Don commented about his long life saying, "It was quite a ride."[...]

Don was drafted into the U.S. Army, serving in Korea as a Staff Sergeant during the Korean War. This is where he said he learned how to lead people...

As his Mobil responsibilities grew, so did his family. He and Betty raised a family of six children, Donna, Don, Diane, Dirk, Debbie, and Dawn. It has been a family joke that he named all of his kids after his wife, Betty...

While attending an Executive Education program at The University of Wisconsin, Madison, he was underwhelmed. He approached the program director and said, "I could do better than that." He was told to "Prove it."... And prove it he did...

Over the last years of his life, Don struggled with Parkinson's Disease and was lovingly and tirelessly cared for by his wife Betty with loving support from his long-term care giver, Grace Realbuto...

Don would appreciate donations to the Wounded Warrior Project instead of flowers.

Happy Don Beveridge Day!

 

Happy Don Beveridge Day. It's the 24th anniversary, this year, of his famous Customerization Seminar. 

Among the choices of celebration - getting into bagels, eating Dunkin' Donuts, getting smoothies or ice cream, I will probably push the Whopper Button. It's also how I celebrated last year, I'm pretty predictable.

Happy Don Beveridge Day

 

Happy Don Beveridge Day, May 1st, everyone. As it is still a new holiday, the exact tradition of celebration is not entirely settled. Some say you eat bagels, some suggest ice cream. Some people ask themselves, "Do you think we're going to get smoothies?"

My preference, and what I plan to do today, is to order and consume a Burger King Whopper - I will tell the crew to push the Whopper Button.
