Not sure what to say?

At Mutual S&L, Ben served as a mentor to almost everyone. As others have said, his smile and gentle disposition were things to be emulated. I was able to work with Ben for 20 years and enjoyed traveling with him on Sat and Sun doing home inspections. Ben also introduced me to leatherwork--sorry to say I have not perfected this art but I still have the tools. When you knew Ben, you also knew his family. Feel comforted to know that Ben touched so many lives and definitely did leave this...

may god bless this family

To the Ferguson Family: I would like to express my deepest sympathy. When I first met Mr. Ferguson during a college break at his home, I knew it would be a special relationship. We always told Bendetta that her parents were "so cool." Mr. Ferguson opened his home to us as if we were his own and I will always be gratefull. Love Kay

Our prayers are with the Family of Ben Ferguson although Ben would have us all to pray for ourselves because he has truly lived a GREAT life and has gone on to his heavenly home -- a place where we all hope to join him one day.

I first met Ben in the 60's when I went to work at Mutual Savings and Loans where he tried to teach me to remain positive and to have patience. However, after 9 years, I ran out of patience and moved on.

Mr. Ben will always be with me in the spirit of fond memories we shared, from his big hearted hospitality of mind bending puzzles, pratical jokes that defide some laws of physics, band pratice on the patio, badmitton tournaments, (before the pool), sledding and tubing down the hill in his big back yard, to the card and table games we all played; and the list will go on and on. The Ferguson Family home was so full of love just as the McCollough Family home. As I became an adult, Mr. Ben and I...

Mr. Ferguson was just like family. As a child, I always looked forward to visiting him and listening to his stories and hearing him laugh. He was quite the character! My thoughts are with his family and everyone else who had the pleasure of knowing this colorful and loving man.

BEN WAS A GREAT MAN I RECALL MY CHILDHOOD DAYS AND HOW ME AND MY SISTER SUSAN WOULD FOLLOW HIM AROUND MUTUAL... HE WOULD KEEP US BUSY SO MAMA COULD WORK. I MISS THOSE DAYS. THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS TO THE WHOLE FAMILY! I LOVED BEN AND HE WILL BE MISSED!

Words can not express the lost of yet another; another who always entertained, who always made things, who always showed us neat little objects when growing up as kids, and one who always had a joke and carried a cheerful smile. Mr. Ferguson, you will be greatly missed but not forgotten, for your time here with us has come to an end but I know without a doubt that you have "gone on in" to join your family and friends that have proceeded you; and to the family, Mrs. Ferguson, Ben Jr., Dett,...
