Gordon C. "Dutch" Van Benschoten

Dutch was a great guy. I have many happy memories of the times when we were together in the Army Reserve. Later, I was always glad to talk to him when we ran into each other in Groton or Moravia. And whenever I saw Gail I would always ask about him. I will miss him.

To: Gwen & Family,
I didn't know you'r father but saw his picture In the paper & Gordon seems like a very nice man & I feel for you'r loss. you'll carry him with you In you'r heart wherever you travel & also cherish the memories Gordon left behind.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

I knew Dutch when I was a youngster in the Groton City Church. There are fond memories of him at church functions and as a volunteer for work around the church. I lost track of his family when I moved to Kansas but had great visits at church when we were on trips home. I will never forget that shiny head. God bless Dutch and his entire family.

I think it’s been about 30 years since I’ve seen “Dutch” but I remember him and your family well. Sorry for your loss.

To My VanBenschoten Family
I don't know where to begin. Uncle Dutch touched so many lives. I have so memories of my dear Uncle over the years. I still remember the day he was wed to his soul mate. I remember as a child visiting upstate and seeing Uncle Dutch every single day walk into Grandma Van's house for lunch and having a huge glass of milk. Forever Uncle Dutch you will be in our hearts. You may be gone but you will forever be remembered. I know your sister's and brother are up...

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow...cousin to Luise Yacono
