Judy, our family is so sorry to hear of Ben's passing. The fishing and hunting experiences and "to-dos" on the creek expressed at your table will be remembered and cherished. Our travels North solved the world problems and the trip back was quick(er) so he could tell you he got more fish than me. I will miss Ben on the creek but his memory will always be there, especially on "Catherine"

Uncle Benny always made me happy. Every time there was a helicopter in the air when I was small, I would say, “That’s Uncle Benny” to my Mom. She always replied, “Yes it is”. Uncle Benny was some sort of hero in my eyes and will always remain that way.
With love and fond Memories,

Benny was a very dedicated individual and would always be there if you needed help. I flew many flights in the helicopter with Benny and will miss his humor! God Bless you my friend and see you in the Blue Skies of heaven!
