Michael D. Benka

Very sorry to hear about the passing of Michael. Grew up with Mike in the Tolleston area of Gary. He was the best. RIP my friend. Danny Gile

Linda, I was so sad to read about Mike's passing. I remember all those times you, I, and Audrey had on the South Shore so many years ago. I hope you, Chris, and Tina find peace. May God bless.

Mike was a good friend in school. He was a neighbor and friend. So sorry for your loss.

Mike,one of the best friends I ever had. We always had a good time even at the post office. I think we had the same sense of humor. You're a great guy and I'll miss you buddy. Rest in peace and see you soon. My love to the family.

Mrs Benka, Chris and Tina,
I'm very sorry about the passing of your husband and dad. I know it has been a long road and not an easy one. I recently endured a similar path with my dad and it's not easy. There aren't and words that really soften the situation. But take this time to cherish the time you all have to spend together remembering your lives with him and let that strengthen all of your relationships. Use this time to laugh and cry together at the memories you all created. I...

With a saddened heart, that you had to leave us so young in life. You are loved and will be missed. But not forgotten. Love you Mike.

a wonderful person to know

My condolences to the family. I am very sorry for your loss. May you receive strength and peace from God. Romans 15:13
