HENRY ANTHONY “TONY” BEALE
Henry Anthony "Tony" Beale, 80, of West Yarmouth, MA, peacefully passed away on January 13, 2024. Born on June 13, 1943, in Kilkenny, Ireland, Tony was a beloved husband, father, brother, and friend. He will forever be remembered for his sharp wit, warm personality, and unwavering pride.
Tony came to the states on the SS New York in 1958, the start of his journey of the American Dream. Tony served with honor and distinction in the Navy as a Seabee from 1962 to 1966, specifically in Battalion NMCB8. His commitment to duty and dedication to his comrades embodied the true spirit of a serviceman. After his honorable discharge in May 1966, Tony embarked on a remarkable career with Con Edison, where he contributed 37 years of diligent service. Following his retirement, Tony and his wife Maureen relocated from Somers, NY to Cape Cod, MA, where he pursued a new adventure with his son, Orleans Autobody.
Beyond his professional accomplishments, Tony found solace and tranquility near the ocean. Whether he was taking his children deep-sea fishing or simply basking in the serenity of the shore, Tony's love for the water was unwavering. The ocean's vast expanse matched the depth of his loving spirit and innate connection to the water.
Tony leaves behind an enduring legacy of love and devotion. He is survived by his cherished wife of 57 years, Maureen Beale (Convery). Their children, Carolan Gozzi (Joseph), Kevin and Mia Beale, Jessica Jacques (Michael), Gerald and Kyle, will forever hold their father's memory close to their hearts. Additionally, Tony's grandchildren, Nicholas, Christian, Ashley, Kyle, Ryan, Noah, Owen, Logan, Rowan, Quinn, and Kieran, brought immeasurable joy to his life. He eagerly anticipated the arrival of his upcoming great-grandchild, due in June 2024.
Tony's memory will forever be treasured by his siblings Dolores Killen, Deidre Markert (Daniel), and George Beale (Nancy).
He was preceded in death by his parents George and Anastasia Beale, his parents-in-law John and Rose Convery, sister -in-law Rosemary Nisco (Convery), his brother-in-law Peter Convery, his brother-in-law John Convery, and his nieces Bernadette Franco (Weaver) and Lindsey Beale.
