Memorial Service – November 15, 2008 - Mount Pleasant Cemetery, Morrisburg, Ontario

C A N A D A

Some weeks ago, I was contacted by PEO 65548, Jim Becksted, Toronto Police Service. Each November, he and his mother lay a Wreath of Remembrance at the graveside of his Dad. Jim found his Dad’s name in the RCMP National Grave databank and he invited me to attend his father’s grave this year.

Jim's Dad, RCMP Reg.#13613, Cst. Clare Meredith Deeks Becksted was born on August 4, 1916 in Morrisburg, Ontario. He joined the Force on August 30, 1940 and during his service, he worked in ‘D’, The Musical Ride, ‘H’ and ‘A’ Div. He left the Force to get married on November 25, 1946.

Cst. Becksted died in Toronto on August 12, 1982 and he is buried in the family plot at Mount Peasant Cemetery in Morrisburg, Ontario.

It was an honour for me to be invited by Jim Becksted to his Dad's resting place. Some spiritual readings from the Bible were read and afterwards Jim layed the Wreath of Remembrance in memory of his Dad. Jim had the headstone and badge recently cleaned so it's a real gem, mostly due to the talents of Upper Canada Granite in Morrisburg.

 We salute Reg.#13613, Cst. Clare Meredith Deeks Becksted.
