Photo courtsey of John and Gerald Beckett
Pete and Repete, Gerald Beckett (top) and John Beckett (bottom), pose for a picture in 2007, during one of their many trips to Parkersburg's Grand Central Mall. The Beckett brothers still take their daily trips, despite John now being in a wheelchair.
Hi Holly. I believe these two gentlemen are my dad's half brothers. A woman who painted their portrait just verified that they have the same mother as my father. Do you have any more information about them? Thanks!
ReplyDeletethey are a staple of Parkersburg and the surrounding areas.. they have their own facebook page, although i think it is under pete and repeat.. from what i've seen their mother left when they were 7.. per a interview with them about a year ago
ReplyDeleteSadly, Gerald passed away almost 2 weeks ago.
