An appreciation Andy Denmon - a life of joy shared with others Andy Denmon is dead and with his death two weeks ago the Back Mountain lost a man who loved this area. He was a man proud to say he was from the Back Moun- tain and that he was born and raised in Beaumont, later coming to Dallas. Everywhere in the schools, in the garage, in the barbershop, at the American Legion are heard expressions of sorrow, for in many ways and to many people, Andy Denmon had been a personal friend. We believe if he could return and hear the tributes uttered the past two weeks, he would choose above all things to be remembered most for his many friends. It would make him happy to know how many persons recall some word he said, some joke he told, or some deed he did as an act of friendship. Andy Denmon was a common man but he was a wealthy man- wealthy in the compassion he had for others; for the joy he felt in doing a small favor for a friend; for the love he had for his family. His friends remember him for the good times fishing in a local stream, for their tramping through the woods searching for just the right spot to wait out a deer. They remember him for the tales he told about his life as a boy, one of a large family, who lived in rural Beaumont, raising gray squirrels as pets, searching for wild mush- rooms, learning to cook under his mother's watchful eye. And they remember how many times he prepared meals for them during their camps in the boondocks of Canada. No one felt uncomfortable in his presence. His fellow men enjoyed his visits to their homes or more often to his favorite stopping place- the Legion, where he joined in a friendly chat with rich or poor. Andy was always the same-jovial, easygoing, natural-no special airs for anyone. He was greeted by friends and customers with a “Hi, Andy”, whether ata church dinner, on the golf course, at the Mall or cutting the grass. He was a vital part of the Back Mountain and never looked down on any of the citizens. He moved quietly doing favors that no one will ever realize. No hour was too late, no day or night too cold or too hot to help a friend. He was a man who loved his family, his home, his community and his friends. His rise from a humble country boy to a success in his work never changed him. He never forgot who he was nor what he was. He loved life, people and animals. We join with the rest of the community in extending sympa- thy to those close to him.
