I remember a time when I was visiting in Leo, and Neil and I had gone down to the river to swim (a place we weren't suppose to be!) , but Ben knew where we'd be and he found us! He also helped us out of trouble! Love ya Ben!
I will always remember!

Todd and Tim, Hugs to you and the family. I never met your dad but he raised some hard working men and that tells me he was something special :D Miss you both and God Bless your Family.

Met him once in the late '70s. He was sitting at his kitchen table telling story after story as Todd gleamed with happiness :)

Words cannot express the loss that we all feel. Over the years our families grew and we all went out separate ways but the bonds that are created by cousins is one that last forever. May God bless you Ben rest in peace.
