We provided services for Ben and Debbie at their home,

When we met him We liked Ben right away.
Ben was always so calm, kind, and humble. We could sense right away that Ben was a very wise man, and we always appreciated the kind of person he was toward us.

Its easier from knowing him to understand why Aaron is so admired, and its nice to watch how his "spirit" lives on through him.

Thanks for your kindness Ben!

I worked with Ben at Culpeper Pro. and became a close friend. We went to Colorado to pan for gold and to New Mexico to halt logs to build his house. I'll miss Ben but we will neet up in that happy hunting ground.

Ben was was excellent playing guitar and saxophone at church. He also sang songs. He was a very dear friend, kind and lovings. We miss you sooooo much at church. The Lord has taken you cause he needed another angel to watch over us. We know you are in a very good place with no pain. We will all see you when God needs us, until then enjoy the music. Love and miss you, Roberta
