George Edward Beattie October 19, 1951 November 28, 2013 Portland - George Edward Beattie, 62, of Scarborough passed away on November 28, 2013. He was born on October 19, 1951 at Langley A.F.B, Virginia. George was known by many names, but to me he was ""Dad"". He will be missed not only by the family he leaves behind, but also by the many people whose lives he touched. His brother Jim and his childhood friends will remember George as a good-natured guy who was always willing to go out and play. His many teammates and opponents will remember ""Zelmo"" as a fierce competitor, but one who loved to play the game, be it baseball, basketball, football, or golf. The countless kids he coached throughout the years will remember ""Coach Beattie"" as patient and passionate. He loved to impart his knowledge to the kids he coached and he truly cared about each and every one of them. His golfing buddies at Nonesuch will remember the ""Commissioner"" for his outgoing manner and his ability to make everyone feel welcome. His coworkers will remember George for his positive outlook, his ever-present smile and his helpful nature. My mother and I will remember him for so many reasons. He loved spending time with his family and watching me grow up and start my own family. His greatest joy these last fifteen months was spending time with his granddaughter Leah. When anyone remembers my Dad, they will remember how kind and generous he was. Please come help us remember ""Dad"", ""Zelmo"", ""Coach"" and ""the Commish"" and celebrate his life this Saturday, December 7th from 1-4PM at Dunegrass Golf Club in Old Orchard. We will have a final ""19th Hole"" to honor his life and his contributions to the communities in which he lived. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Boys & Girls Club of Southern Maine (PO Box 7830 Portland, ME 04112) in George's name would be greatly appreciated.
