Buckles,

Larry Sheffield, former Beatty-Cole concession manager, husband of Sheilah Frazier,

passed away this weekend also. I have no further details as of now. He was in bad

shape with cancer.

Harry Kingston said...: I am very sorry to learn of Larry's passing on to the big top in the sky.
Was a great friend on Beatty Cole for many years and was always full of circus stories from the past.
In his concession trailer was a relic from the past, one of those old time square safes that used a very large skeleton key that opened from the top.
Larry is gone but not forgotten as I still have some of those Beatty Cole cups they used for many years given to me by Larry.
Thanks for the memories Larry.

Roger Smith said...: Larry and Shiela were friends from my first day back on the Beatty show in over 16 years. I had been there in '64, and this was 1980. I think they were over there for more than 25 years, truly part of the great family the Beatty show was then.

Rest in peace, Larry. And sincere condolences to Shiela.; 20 October, 2009 14:18
