Trace, my thoughts are with you. I’m sorry to hear the news. Your father raised an incredibly talented man.
I read for awhile Trace tweeting about spending time with his ailing father, but I was under the impression that he had been ill but was recovering. I guess I was wrong.
Condolences to Trace and the rest of his family. May your memories be of comfort in the days ahead.
Sad news indeed and condolences to Trace and his family. At least he had a long life and got to see his son create one of the most beloved cult characters in sci-fi/comedy history, as well as playing a small part in the memorable final episode of the show on Comedy Central.
Heartfelt condolences for Trace and his family. I remember him appearing in Laserblast as Old Forester. He made a convincing old Dr. F., as one would expect.

Thanks always to Jack for giving us Trace, and thanks to Trace to immortalizing his father on his show for us.
I wish to express my condolences to Trace: his dad really makes an emotional impact as the old Dr. Forrester as he transforms into a Star Child!
RIP Jack
Trace, please accept my sincere condolences on the death of your father. I suppose you can take some small comfort that your dad got to see one more Christmas season before passing.
A bit late for this but…
Trace, my deepest condolences to your family. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Rest in peace, Jack.
I was just looking him up to find the clip he was in (I have yet to watch Laserblast – I know, shame on me!) and I found what seems to be his obituary here: http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/startribune/obituary.aspx?n=jack-b-beaulieu&pid=147656136

Fifty plus years ago, I worked with Jack at Western Adjustment & Inspection CO, Before Jack and Ed Daeger formed First Adjustment. Jack took me flying one day in a 2-seater Piper Club (Jack in front, me in back). As we flew over Wayzata, he told me how he would much rather have been a fighter piolet in WWII, but because of his size, they stuck him in a B-24. As we flew over a passing train, Jack suddely put the plane in a dive and “straffed” the train before pulling up and waving his wings. My stomach was back up around 1,000 feet. I told this story to Quentin Aanenson (Fighter Pilot Story and Ken Burns “The War) and he thought Jack was in a much better place flyin a B-24 than in a P-51. I’m sure Jack would still argue that. I have many wonderful memories of Jack and those days at Western. God speed.
