Newly sworn in in the President Joe Biden begins to work with loved ones, including the late son Beau Bidenand watched over him.
He has already refurbished the Oval Office and behind his Resolute Desk is a narrow table on which several framed family photos rest, some of which show Beau prominently. Joseph Robinette “Beau” Biden III was a military veteran who toured Iraq for a year and served twice as Attorney General in Delaware before dying of brain cancer in 2015 at the age of 46.
One of the photos resting on the table was taken in 2009 and shows Beau with his son Robert Biden, the youngest of his two children, on his shoulders at a welcoming ceremony or with members of the Delaware Army National Guard’s 261st Signal Brigade.
Beau was the eldest of three children from his father’s first marriage to his late wife Neilia Hunter Biden. She died in a car accident in 1972 in which she and Joe’s 13-month-old daughter were killed Naomi Biden and Beau and his brother badly injured Hunter Biden.
