Howard George Beane, Jr., 77, took a train ride to the cottage he always dreamed of in heaven on December 7th, 2020.

Howard was a loving man with great stories and a heart made of gold. Those who knew him knew he loved to spin a yarn.  He was always willing to help his fellow man.  He loved his model railroading and built many a layout that amazed many.  One of his greatest loves Howard had was for his wife, Brenda D. Beane and they shared a wonderful life together for 51 years in Massachusetts and Florida until she went to wait for him in heaven in 2018.  The love that Howard had is so contagious that he shared it again with a sweet lady, Lovona Brantley.  They shared many special days in the last two years. 

Howard had loving care to the very end from his daughter, Denise MacDonald and son in law, Ken MacDonald.  

Howard left a great legacy behind with his two granddaughter, Danielle Mills and her husband, Chris and Kimberly Hanson and her husband, David , and three great grandchildren, Annabelle Alexander, Isis Kellough and Dylan Hanson.  As well as his surviving four sisters and two brothers.

Howard was greeted at Heaven’s gate by his wife, Brenda and brother Michael Beane with a hopped up Chevy Chevelle and a Plymouth Roadrunner and they are now racing down the roads of Heaven.

There will be no services.  In lieu, please take a moment and think of one of the million stories that Howard told and how special it made you feel when he was around.
