I was deeply saddend to learn of Ben's passing in April.

I first met Ben and Nancy in 2006 at an old car meet, and enjoyed their company whenever we met during the ensuing years at the various Hupmobile meets. I spoke with him around Christmastime this past year when he informed me of Nancy's passing, and I tried to cheer him by talking about the old cars and how this year's get together was going to be great. I could tell that Nancy's death took a lot out of him, but I never for one minute thought that he would follow so soon.

The Hupmobile club members that knew Ben and Nancy through the years send their deepest condolences. We will all remember them fondly in the coming years.

Daddy:
Children don't get to choose their parents but if they did, I would have chosen you and mom. You two raised me to be self sufficent and independent. I will cherish the memories of the times we spent together the past few months. You taught me so much. I miss you but I know you are with mom. You accomplished so much in your life. I am so proud to be your daughter. Love you.

Grandpa,
You were a great man of many talents, I am a better man for having had you in my life. I learned a lot from you and am able to carry on in my line of work with the knowledge that you gave me. You will be missed dearly by me and many others. I know you're at peace now and with grandma. I will never forget the last word of yours that I heard you say, I know you said a few things but what really stood out to me was when the pastor and Robert were talking to you. Robert had told you how well you had done in life, he complimented you on your family and the many things you succeeded at. You lifted your head and said "I tried". That was so so powerful to me. May you rest in peace sir. Love Nathan BrIan Wright. (Tony Nathan)

When our dad met and married the love of his life she came with baggage ...me. He was an amazing father and man . To my sisters he was the one of the greatest dads there was he was the person everyone expects a dad to be but to me he was so much more . He was the dad he didn't have to be. I will forever be thankful him and will miss him

Mr. Daddy,I will miss you and momma every day until we meet again. The past few months we spent together was an experience I will never forget. Although it was sad at the same time it gave us more time to bond and also brought out the strength inside my that you and mom gave to me. I never knew anyone who was as strong and brave as you,except maybe momma ! I am so proud to be your daughter and have the life and childhood that you two gave us. Thanks for all the good times and bad. I hope I can live up to your legacy but we all no that will never happen. You are a hard act to follow. Give momma a kiss from me. Love you both forever and a day,Lisa Marie

Papa, you will be greatly missed. I couldn't imagine my life without you. My only regret in life is not being able to spend more time with you before your passing. It warms my heart to know that you are back with your Doll baby. Rest in Peace old man, I've got it from here.
