In Loving Memory Of

BENJAMIN TILTON

Oct 5, 1917 - Dec 23, 1972

Daddy, your legacy remains today, though long ago you went away. Our daily paths reflect the values you applied, timeless truths that cannot be denied. From common sense thinking to independent ways, from "family first" to working hard to earn an honest pay. We thank you Daddy, for all of these and even so much more, our lives are richly blessed because of what your life stood for. Still missing and loving you after 40 years. Your children, Sandra, Sheila, Bruce and Sherry
