| John Bedecarré |
John Bedecarré passed away at his home in Concord on January 13. A WWII veteran, businessman and later a school teacher, Bedecarré discovered a passion for family history while in his fifties. He embarked on a decades-long research quest that resulted in a massive book, The Bedecarré Family History, available at the CGS Library in Oakland as well as other libraries and history centers around the United States. John was a leader of the Mt. Diablo Genealogical Society, and was for many years a member of CGS. He was generous in sharing information about our classes and other activities and connecting genealogy enthusiasts throughout the Bay Area. He is warmly remembered by many.
