I am so proud to be his first Niece I will miss him very much. He would come up to Pa with Aunt Francis just about every summer in July Spend his birthday and their anniversary with My dad (His brother) we would have so much fun. I know that he is in a much better place and he is in no more pain and with his beloved wife,My Aunt Francis His Mom and Dad My Grandparents and his brother My Uncle Tom Uncle Ben May You Rest In Peace I love you

Having known Ben as a firefighter and as a friend for many years he will be missed greatly by many. Ben served and sacrificed for his country as well as the community This country needs more Ben's as role models for others

I was saddened to read of the death of 'Ben'. In 1961, I was a senior high school student in Yanceyville and commuted to Danville each day after school where I worked with him at F.W. Townes & Sons Funeral Home [he was a full-time Danville fireman and worked part-time at Townes]. He loved to play practical jokes, always full of laughter and always had a smile on his face. We had some 'crazy times' together. He wasn't a bad heart player either. I always looked forward to, and enjoyed...

We send our simpathy in the death of Mr. Gribble as we know he will be missed. We attended church with him for many years. He was such a blessing to many at the Tabernacle. May his family find comfort in knowing that he is with the Lord.

Ben was one of the nicest people I have ever met. He had a great sense of humor and was a humble man. He enriched the lives of all with whom he came in contact.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
