Such a great loss , May you Rest in Peace BJ,and tell Dad I said Hi, Please, Thank you Again for All you did for US, when Dad passed,GREAT MAN. My Thoughts & Prayers To You Dalene & Family.May God Heal Youre Broken Hearts

Dalene and family, Ben worked for my father at the Manhattan Raceway Park and I have so many fond memories of BJ. I am so very sorry for your loss. He had a heart of gold and was such a sweet man. He always had a hug for me and my parents thought so much of BJ. We all had some great times together. I know this is a huge loss for your family and my thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

Mr. Eichem was my homeroom teacher in 8th grade, 1969-1970. He was an enthusiastic teacher and a great motivator. Many great memories from that classroom! So sorry for the family's loss.

Dalene, Angie, and Chris-Im so sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in the memories you shared with your husband/father.

I was terribly sorry to hear of BJ's passing. He was on the school board when I first came to Wamego as a young teacher. He was always kind, encouraging and uplifting. I particularly enjoyed visiting with him in recent years as he worked as a substitute teacher at Wamego High. I always appreciated his positive outlook and willingness to help. My condolences to the entire Eichem family. BJ will be missed.

Dalene,
We are so terribly saddened for your loss and feel fortunate to have spoken with both of you recently. Ben was a fine man and we are proud to have known him as a friend. The World has lost a good one. Bless you and your family and know you are in our prayers.

We are so sorry about the loss of BJ. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and family. Carl and Barbara Meyer

Dalene and Kids, It was a real please to be able to get to know and work with BJ. We spent many years and many miles together. He was a great mentor to me and leaves me with many lessons that he exampled. I know that he will be missed and we will be lifting you all up in prayer during these difficult times.

So sorry to hear of your loss. He led an influential life and will be missed. Best wishes to the family during this time and into the future.
