Jean & Family,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. The last time I saw Ben was at my brother's funeral in Iowa. I have great memories of him as an "older" cousin when they lived at the farm north of Waterloo. My condolences to all of the family and may you have wonderful memories to share with each other at this difficult time.

We were so sorry to hear of Ben's passing. We always enjoyed visiting with him when we came to visit Uncle Mike & Aunt Annie. We enjoyed having him stay with us when he was hunting in WV. He will be greatly missed.

God Bless you and your family in this time Jean. Ben was really good to me and Betty fixing things when our own property manager would not take care of it. I will always remember Ben just wanted a cold glass of water while we sit and talk about whatever on those hot summer days outside. He will be truly missed.

God Bless You Jean
