As an active-duty member of the U.S. Army Air Corps, RW served his country with pride.

RW will be missed by his family and friends who deeply loved him. He was preceded in death by his mother, Gladys Puckett, his father Newton Beene, his brother Tom Puckett, his daughter Kimberley Beene Allen, and grandson Cullen Allen.
