Rob was born June 6th. 1951. He was the third child, and last boy, of William Ward Beecher and Dolores Katherine Laredo. Since Lori and Bill had already had two boys, they figured the odds were in their favor for a girl. Consequently, they did not even consider boy's names. So when Rob was born, the story goes, his birth certificate stated simply "Boy" Beecher until they could come up with a name and amended the birth certificate.
Rob married Guion Alworth from Pittsburgh, PA and issued one child, Delaney Beecher.
While living in Lori's house, the Parsonage, in Cornwall village, Connecticut, Rob developed pancreatic cancer and died on May 26, 2011, 10 days before his 60th birthday
