Miss you Uncle Ben, I'm happy I got to see you and Sandye. My Dad misses you too. You were his best friend, and you were the best friend he could ever ask for. I know he wishes he could just pick up the phone and call you..cause he could always do that. Love you Uncle Ben, miss you.

I was saddened to hear about the passing of Ben Carr. Ben was a special 1959 classmate of mine at Chaffey High, and he was very popular with his classmates. I enjoyed visiting with Ben at our reunions, and he will be dearly missed. My heartfelt sympathy to his family.
