Vernon Don Beard was born April 6, 1936, in Dale, IN to Floyd and Loretta (Wellmeyer) Beard. Don attended a one-room school in rural Warrick County and later moved to Chandler, IN where he attended Chandler Elementary School. While attending Boonville High School Don lived with and worked on his grandparent's dairy farm. After graduating from Boonville, Indiana High School in 1956 he joined the United States Navy. In 1958 Don was on leave to attend his brother, Dwight's, wedding and reconnected with his high school sweetheart, Reda Dell Heath. The family had two weddings that week. After their marriage, Don and Reda resided in Norfolk, VA where Don served as an Aviation Electronics Technician in a Military Air Transport Squadron. After receiving an Honorable Discharge from the Navy in 1960, Don packed up Reda, their two children Kevin and Donese and enrolled at the University of Florida. He graduated with a degree in electrical engineering and remained a life-long Gator fan. After working a number of years, Don and Reda formed Comtec Systems, Inc. in 1979. Don was very successful in his work and patented a number of his inventions. In 1994 he was listed as one of the inventors of the Proportional Control Valve for Patient Support Systems. Reda was a huge reason the business was so successful but in 1997 they made the decision to sell Comtec Systems and retire. After moving to Joe's Point in Stuart, FL, Don was captain of his personal water craft. Don and Reda also resided in Hiawassee, GA where they lived in the summers. They enjoyed their many Georgia mountain friends. When a simpler life was needed, they moved to The Brennity at Tradition Senior Living in Port St Lucie, FL where they lived the remainder of their years. During his long life, Don had the gift of making the person he was with feel like the most important person in his life.
