MY DEEP FELT CONDOLENCES TO TO GRACE BUMBRY FOR THE LOSS OF HER BELOVED BROTHER. HILDA LEVI. 8.10.18

Ben was my softball coach in at Quincy in 1993. He was a wonderful coach. I ran into him periodically throughout the years while visiting home. He always greeted me with a hug and a smile. He was a great influence in my life and will be dearly missed.

Dear family and friends, God was ready to bring cousin Ben home, and I know some of our hearts were not ready to let him go. I'm sure he is in heaven rejoicing and having a good time, and looking forward to the great reunion when we get there too! He touched so many lives in a tender way, we must take up his mission and share sincere love and care with others.

There are no words to express the sadness of saying good bye to this legend in our community. Ben lead by example in every way possible. He will be greatly missed and always remembered. With great love and respect-Cindy
