Joseph A. Beimer

Joseph Anthony (Joe) Beimer of Livermore died Nov. 20, 2001, in Reno, Nev. He was 83.

He was born in Elizabethtown, N.M., in August 1918. His father was the town's lawman, and his mother ran the post office. The family later moved to Taos, N.M.

He and his brother, George Beimer, moved to Neward, N.J., in the late 1930s and worked for Couse Manufacturing, which designed mobile machine shops. There he met and his wife, Peg Schefter, and they married in September 1942.

He joined the U.S. Navy and was stationed in Camp Parks in Pleasanton.

In 1955, he accepted a job with a new manufacturing company in Livermore. In 1960, he opened Beimer Machine Works and operated it until his retirement in the late 1970s.

His wife suffered a stroke in 1996 but survived. In 1998, he was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, and in 1999 the couple moved to an assisted living facility in Reno. His health declined.

Survivors include his wife of 59 years, Margaret (Peg) Beimer; two daughters, Noreen Mazelis of Davis and Kathleen Burkhard of San Jose; one son, Martin Joseph Beimer of Reno; and five grandchildren, Jacob, Amy, Sean, Mike and Charles.

He was preceded in death by his parents, B.J. and Marie C. Beimer, and siblings Sam Beimer, George Beimer, Jack Beimer and Blanche Brooks, all of Taos.

A memorial service for family and friends was held in Livermore on Dec. 1, 2001. Burial was in St. Michael's Cemetery in Livermore.

Does anyone have a MINNIE BEIMER in their ancestry? I have an old class photo labeled "2nd and 3rd Grade, St. Bernard O(hio)". Its envelope says "Minnie Beimer" on it. I am trying to date the photo. I would be happy to provide a scanned image.
