Our deepest condolences and sympathy goes out to Manong Ben and his family. I had first and last met Manong Ben back in 1982. I was 11 at the time and our family was visiting out of Montreal and had made a quick stop to California before travelling out to the Philippines. Although I didn't really have a chance to get to know him, from what I've recalled and heard, he was a great husband, father, brother, cousin and friend. As a cousin, I shed a tear for his memory. As a former Marine, I salute him.

With Sincerest Love and Regards,
- The Camat Family (Oregon)
