Not sure what to say?

I am so sorry for your loss. May your memories bring you comfort as your heartfelt prayers to God bring you strength.

My prayers are with your family at your time of grief. May the God of all comfort give you peace and strength to get you through the days ahead.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

Our sincere condolences on the passing of your beloved husband, father, grandfather, etc. Many prayers are with you all at this time.

Mr. Behnken was such a kind man and I always enjoyed speaking to him when he was in Atlanta for J & J birthday parties or to visit. He and Mrs. Benhken raised 4 beautiful daughters who have hearts of gold. Their amazing daughters and grandchildren are a tribute to them. I know he is so proud of his family and he is leaving a lasting legacy that will live on through them. You all are in my thoughts and prayers. May your memories serve you well during this difficult time.

So very sorry to hear about Jacks' passing. He loved his officiating but most of all he loved his family. Thoughts and prayers.

Jack was one of my teachers. I learned a lot about life from him in gym class. I true professsional and a very kind man. I will miss him. I always saw him at games right up until this past year. He was very popular throughout the state as an official.
