Thomas R Bean

Born July 4th 1922 to parents Arcenious and Janie Bean (he was bound to be a fire cracker). Tom grew up in the Forestville area on his family dairy farm where he began working as a milk truck driver. He left the family business and began working for the county as a school bus driver all the while still working his farm in Upper Marlboro. When he retired he continued raising tobacco, corn, hay and many many different vegetables. Tom was such a hard worker. His relaxation was dancing. Any time the old style country music was playing, his feet were flying. Boy did he love to dance. He loved his wife Aleen, he loved taking care of his daughter, he truly loved watching his children grow. He mourned with sadness when he lost his oldest son but kept strong for the family. Tom loved being with babies and small kids, they melted his heart and he let his crusty guard down he lit up around them. Grumpy, dry since of humor, angry at times and loud. We all have seen this. But that heart...big heart that would help anyone in need. Tractors, working the farm, dancing and being with family. Rest well Tom Bean Forget, forgive, and be at peace.
