A very special man. When I was a student at St. Joe he came into the class room and was a great story teller. He was present for my Confirmation, 8th Grade Graduation, 12th Grade Graduation, my Wedding, my Father Ken Missig's Funeral, my son Bradle'y baptism, and countless other milestones. He again was a very special man.

Fr. Ben was our Pastor at Sacred Heart when I was in grade school. He taught us a lot of valuable lessons that I'll never forget. He was a great leader and a great man.

Fr. Ben was pastor when I taught at Monroeville. He was wonderful to work with and had a real ability to step back from a situation and look at it from many sides. He was willing to try new things and was always very supportive of the sisters who served there. He was a great soul. The world is a little less without him.
My prayers for him and his family.

Fr Ben was a very close friend of my wife and I. He served at Sacred Heart in Fremont when I was president of Parish Council. To say the least he was a good and faithful servant. However, at times he could get his dander up but always was willing to listen for new ideas. I am a better man for knowing Fr Ben....

Father Ringholz officiated at my wife and my marriage on April 27, 1968. He must have done a pretty good job as we are still happily married after almost 43 years. We have 4 children and 8 grandchildren. He was always a nice and understanding priest. I hope the good Lord sees the good he did while here on earth and that his reward in heaven is great.....

Fr. Ben was so considerate and thoughtful of anyone with a problem, and was so helpful at their time of need. We appreciate all that he did for us, and consider him a very good friend. Jim & Millie Fleckner

Fr. Ringholz was our first assistant pastor at St. Mary's, Mansfield when the parish was established in late 1940's. What a wonderful priest he was, and a special friend to my mother, Elizabeth Hetler, and to our whole family. His family can be assured of our prayers--Heaven is now enjoying this holy man's smile and laugh and great sense of humor. Judith Korbas, Greenwood, IN
