Read MoreI remember when we went fishing on a multi day trip with Papa and Uncle Johnny. We caught some albacore tuna and they were filing it up but before they did arguing on how to cut up the fish. As Papa was pointing with the knife where he thought he should cut the fish Uncle Johnny pointed with his finger with his opinion and cut his finger. I think of you often Papa. Love you.

Mr. Bender was a regular customer of mine at the former Longs Rolling Hills. He came in often and we had many good chats, such a nice man! My heartfelt condolences to the Bender family.

My condolences to all the Bender family. I have known George and Shirley since our Venice High School days. My husband and I have lived here on the peninsula since 1957 and would see Shirley and George while we were shopping. I have such fond memories of both of them. If services will be held in the future I would like to be informed. With warmest regards. Debby Lombard Power VHS '51
