Richard “Rick” C. Bean Jr., age 66, passed away peacefully at his home in Forward Twp. on Monday, July 5, 2021. He is survived by his wife and best friend of 38 years, Maureen (Pastor) Bean, who cherished him as her soulmate and was his loving caretaker at the time of his illness.

He took great pride in the accomplishments and interests of his daughter Brittany and son Matt. He was both his wife’s and children’s quiet strength and champion.

Maureen’s passion for animal rescue quickly rubbed off on Rick and he could never turn down a long drive to add furry friends to the family, sometimes as big as a horse. Some of the greatest joys of his life were dancing to “My Girl” with his daughter at her wedding and helping his son turn his first home into the farm of his dreams.

He was employed by Famous Supply and Plotkin Brothers and was a swimming official for the PIAA and WPIAL for 25 years. Born May 12, 1955 in McKeesport, he was a son of the late Richard C. Bean Sr. and Elizabeth (Brannigan) Bean.
