Leigh Ann, Steve, Jay & extended family: I'm so sorry for the loss of your beloved dad, Benny. He was awesome. You guys had two of the best parents any child could ever hope for. Their love & generosity shows in the wonderful children they have raised. I've had the pleasure of being a family friend for almost 50 years. I wish you all peace in this time of grief.

Steve,
I just want you to know that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers regarding the loss of your father. I fondly remember all the special dinners your father gave us during our senior football season and the fishing trip he helped sponsor to the Gator Bowl in 1968. He was a special man and I am sure he was loving father. Having lost my father four years ago I understand the grief you and the family are experiencing. Just know that better days are ahead and his love, and the fond memories will sustain you for the rest of your life. May God continue to bless each you and hold you close during this time.
Steve Roberson

To Steve, Jay Leigh Ann and family - our prayers are with you at this most difficult time. We spent many happy days and good times with you kids, Mary and Benny and not even death can take those from us. We have been separated by time and space here on earth but thank God for the blessed assurance that we are going to have a grand reunion - soon and very soon - and we shall ever commune with the Lord and one another in a land where time shall cease to be, the cares of this life will be past, sickness and disease in unknown and we shall ever be together while the ages roll on - WHAT A GLORIOUS HOPE AND PROMISE -
Judy and Bill Sipes, Edith Gamache, Bruce Austrew and family
