Ben Steele Memoriam
Dec. 31, 1921-Nov. 6, 1975
It was a beautiful, clear and sunny day exactly 50 years ago
when you left the surly bonds of earth to travel through the
heavenly skies beyond.
Our love for you transcends all space and time, and you live on in each of our memories and hearts. Dad, you will never be forgotten!
Love Always,
Jonathan (Shorty) and Family

In some ways, it feels like a lifetime ago that you left us Pop. 50 years is a long time, but I also remember that day vividly and you will always be younger in my mind. It's so strange to have lived 17 years longer than you. I picture you healthy and happy with Mom and our other loved ones. I miss you. I'm doing all I can to assure that others don't lose a parent (or anyone) to cancer and I'm grateful that lung cancer diagnoses, treatments and life expectancies have improved. We are still fighting in memory of you!
