Not sure what to say?

Dear. Ben and Mary

I am so sorry to hear that Ben passed away... I dont know if you remember me, I was one of your homestay students from Korea. I still remember how Ben and you were nice to me. Both of you became my another family in US. Thanks to you, I made a lot of precious memories in US. I will miss Ben's smile a lot. He was such a nice person with warm heart. I hope he rests peacefully in heaven. It was a short time, I really loved you both. thank you. I respectfully express...

Many thanks to all who attended the Celebration of Life for Ben on Feb. 2. If it weren't for the causing event, we could say we had a great party!

Mary and family! So sorry. One thing I will always remember about Ben is his contagious laugh, which Ben jr. has. And his love for his children. He worked hard, and continued to smile. You will be in our prayers.

I fished many times with Ben on the Wilson River. We also worked together at Sears. I will miss His Laughter and friendship. George Simonson

So sorry to read of Ben's passing, I have many great memories of Ben from the Display Dept at Sears, working with him was a great experiance. Ben ws more than a boss he was a friend. Mary,your advice to me, was to keep your women frends close, because we will most likely be alone, I hope you have done that. You and your family are in my prayers. Kathy Palermo-McGee
