Ben was a reliable repairman and a skilled carpenter/ woodworker, but most of all, he was kind, friendly,reliable, trustworthy, and a good friend to all who he worked for. He loved his family completely! I miss him!

Angie - My condolences to you on the passing of your Father.
Love is immortality. Love is one. Love is the whole. Love is an endless sea that you fall into. And once you fall into it, you can't fall out.
All that we love deeply becomes a part of us. Your Dad is gone from our sight, but never from our hearts. May the cherished memories of your Dad, and the love of family, continue to surround you and give you strength in the days and years ahead.
My thoughts and prayers are with you to assuage the grief of your family BUT - Grief never ends .. it changes .. it's a passage, not a place to stay. Grief is not a sign of weakness, nor a lack of Faith It's the price of Love ...
May his memory be eternal.

Debbie and Angela,
I met Ben through my neighbors, the Schuhs. He was always so helpful and kind. What a terrific man! I have thought of him often since I lsat saw me. He helped me with my home in so many ways. "Ben's Home Repairs" has been a treasure in my life! I will have a Holy Mass offered for his soul
