We've known Ben a long time. Dick played poker with Ben and the guys every week at each others homes. I heard "you old fart" tossed around when they played cards here but it was always mixed with much laughter! . He would join us now and again for a glass of merlot and conversation with neighbors in Sharps Park. We do miss him.

Benny was our dear friend in Eustis , Fl. With the Dick and Betty Johnson we spent much time together partying with a drink and food. We Will miss his gentle way and cheerfulness. He was always ready to help and a friend to all. Regina and Carl Snyder, Defiance, Ohio
Ben, I speak for myself and all of your fantastic neighbors/friends who cared for you the last few years of your life, we miss you. You made us laugh every day, I miss seeing you mosey on down to the mailbox, or picking up the paper. I miss sitting with you and having fun conversations, about everything! I am happy myself, Jim, and Beckie could be with you as you made the transition to Heaven. It was peaceful, as you so much wanted. I know Olive was happy to see her sweetheart. We miss you, we love you, and as we promised you, Oscar will be taken great care of. Go rest high on that mountain Benny! Until we meet again, Love, Erin.
Yvonne we are so sad to hear this. We were unaware he'd become so ill. Ben meant so much to Dan. He cherishes each memory. Thank you for taking such good care of Ben. Please know we are here for you
