Dear Bruce, sorry to hear about your dad. I had the good fortune of knowing him personally & professionally for a number of years. We who have had such great fathers know how difficult to lose them. Pleas give my condolences to the rest of the family. I am out of town & sorry I could not see you personally.

Dear Family,
Dr. Benge treated me growing up in Fairfax and in the latter years was there for me when my parents aging began a difficult journey; he always had time and this was so important as I had to come from Texas to get the parents to see Dr. John. I have so many wonderful memories of how he helped me; John, you and I played baseball on the Fairfax Falcons and you were a good teammate, just like your dad. My best to the family.

Benge road in Yorklyn always brought pleasant memories to me. Thank you Dr. Benge and Family.
Sincerest Love and Condolences.
