Harry Beckman of Salem, Massachusetts, formerly of Needham, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by family.

Born on February 21, 1952, Harry lived a life defined by humor, dedication, and deep love for his family and friends. He was the beloved husband of Lauren Beckman for 47 years.

He was a proud father to Rachel (Dan) Leavitt and a devoted grandfather to Connor and Cole. He is also survived by his sister, Barbara Pasquale (Michael), and was a cherished uncle and friend to many.

Harry formed lasting friendships throughout his life, including lifelong friends from his childhood in Sharon.

A lifelong jeweler in Boston, he was known for his craftsmanship and integrity. He enjoyed life’s simple pleasures, especially time spent working in his yard. A graduate of Norwich University, he held a special love for Vermont and often called it “God’s Country.”

Harry will be remembered for his warmth, humor, and ability to make others laugh.

A service will be held on October 12, 2026 at Stanetsky-Hymanson Memorial Chapel, Salem. Following the service everyone is invited to join the family at a luncheon at The Villages Clubhouse, 200 Loring Hills Avenue, Salem. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in his memory to CurePSP.
