Benjamin Kendrick

Mr. Kendrick made an indelible impression on me and so many others on Chicago´s Westside. May his memory continue to be a blessing.

Mr.Kendricks´ leadership on Chicago´s Westside was legendary. The programs that he led and/or supported/created an atmosphere for youth in North Lawndale to thrive thru after school programs, summer activities & year round camping in Michigan. His presence left an indelible impression on the lives of many. DeLois P.

I am so disappointed I was unaware of his transition. Mr. Kendricks was a positive role model for so many; including my 8 siblings and I. He assisted my mom, Mrs. Lois J. Porter, in astronomical ways. Rest in peace my good friend.

Mr. Kendrick and his family helped me get my life on track. Mr. Kendrick helped me get in to college and told me that when I made it I should return the favor to someone else. As a teacher for 16 years I have been able to pass on his gift to many students and will continue to do so in Mr. Kendrick's honor.

Mr.Kendrick was like my Social Service Father ; he helped me so much. I will always Love Him.

My sincerest condolences to the family of Ben Kendrick. As a former employee of Marcy Newberry Association I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Kendrick and witnessed his great love for the children and families he served. He will greatly be missed.

To the Kendrick family, I would like to extend my condolences to you. May God keep you for you have truly loss a great man of service. A person who gave his all to secure the lives of so many. I will pray for you and may God bless you. I will never forget how much he put into the West Side Consotium Training Institute for Family Child Care. God Bless, love Bernice Shelton
