Memories and Condolences
for Benjamin ROWE
August 14, 2010
Dear Rowe Family,
We were so sorry to just recently hear about Ben's passing from a salesman that came into our shop. Ben was our Baer Supply salesperson for many, many years. Whenever he came into our shop, he was always happy, smiling, joking...totally upbeat about life. His job wasn't work...it was enjoyment for him. We missed him after he retired.
Our deepest condolences to your entire family.

Dear Joan,
Larry and I are so sad to hear of Ben's passing. We always enjoyed seeing you both and of course Larry liked working with Ben. He very much respected him. He will certainly be missed and we will keep you all in prayer.

Dear Rowe Family,
I am so sad to hear of Ben's passing I know Ben through our business,Ben was our salesman. but Ben was what salesmen used to be, he didn't need a computer, he knew his products he knew what you used and best of all Ben knew me personally and I would call a friend. I am not surprised by the many personal reflections in this guestbook and how people loved Ben.

Dear Rowe Family,
There are people who touch our lives in very special ways and Ben was one of those people. I had the pleasure of working with him at Baer Supply and I do mean a pleasure. Ben was a kind hearted and friendly gentleman whom I will never forget. Our loss is heavens' gain.

Dearest Joan and family:
Altho we are saddened to learn of Ben's death - his trip to his "heavenly home" is one we aspire to and until that time, we will miss him. His legacy is great - carry it on. May the comfort that comes from knowing he is now in no pain and "looking down on all of you" - be a source of peace. So sorry we cannot be there at this time - BUT know our prayers will be for your "caring unit" to carry on to the next chapter of the Benjamin D. Rowe family.
Forever friends,
Tracy (Ross) Mueller

God Bless you "Uncle Ben". I feel so honored to have had you as a role model as a child. Your strong, hearty voice, your caring eyes, your smile, your laugh and your big hugs--always meant so much. I saw first hand the amazing role you assumed in the lives of your six wonderful nieces... unconditionally, of which, their father would be so grateful. You've left your "mark" on so many lives and I'm very proud to say mine is one of them. May you find great peace and comfort from all of the angels you have around you now.

When his brother died at 46 years old, he left behind 6 daughters, 22 down to 9. Uncle Ben didn't have to watch over us, but he did, because that was the kind of man he was. We will forever be grateful for that. Aunt Joan, Deb, Kim, Ben, Steve and families, know that we are all here for you, no matter what you need, as our Dad and your Dad showed us the meaning of family. Thank you Uncle Ben for all of those years you gave us at the lake, we all have some wonderful memories there, along with Christmas Eve's. The world will not be the same without your smile, your laughter, Thanksgiving gravy, and most of all your big hugs. I know you didn't play cards like the rest of your family, but hopefully you will have some fun up in heaven with your parents, our Dad, and all of the others that went before you. We love you, and thank you.

Uncle Ben was a big man with a big heart. He was a symbol of stability and strength for me and my family! It is a true loss and hurts deep to our core. His hugs, smile, laughter, and gift of love is like non-other. I know that God has a special place for him in Heaven! We will be keeping all of his family in our prayers. With much sympathy - Steve, Bridget, Jadyen & Joshua Walman

Cousin Ben was a very good man who will live on in my heart with many warm memories of him.I know in my heart and with my belief in 'God' that Ben is now in the loving protection and care for eternity with our loving God. I have no doubts that his mom who is my Aunt(Mac)and her twin sister (Pat)who is my mom, their sister,who is my Aunt Betty, and their brother, who is my Uncle Bill, and Bens dad who is my Uncle Tenny and his brother Lefty and my brother Norman and my brother Joey are there with Ben surrounding him and sharing with him in the great glory and beauty and peace and protection of our wonderful God.
Dear God please be with Ben's wife Joan and all his children and grandchildren and cousins and all his relatives and friends who have loved him so dearly and let our hearts be comforted with your presence and peace.
My husband Tom and I love you Ben.
Love, your cousin Mary Jane

Heaven gained an amazing soul and now we must carry on the legacy he left behind in so many of us!! My prayers and thoughts go out to his/my family during this time!! THANK YOU for EVERYTHING Uncle Ben!! I love you and will miss you deeply!!!

Dear Joan and Family, I can't express how very much I feel for all of you. I remember the time Dick and I and Jenny and Mark went to your cottage. Brenda and Ben and Steve were not born yet. We had a marvelous time watching our kids play in the lake. You, Joan and Ben have been such great friends. Please call me, Joan whenever you need a friend. I'll cry with you. Love Kathy G.

Dear Deb & Kim and family members of Ben. I am so sorry to hear of your fathers passing. I know how hard this time will be for you and your mother. As you know the Lord will hold all things together for you as you deal with the things needed to be done and the upcoming hard times you will experience. Keep looking up and embrace the love of others to help see you through. I'm sorry I am not able to come (too soon) but I will be praying for you. Sue Thomas

uncle ben- our lives will never be the same without you. thank you for all you have given each of us in so many different ways. thank you for your gift of "the lake" that we shared with you and enjoyed with you so much over the last 30 plus years. and "thank you" for that special december 24th visit at my moms every year that meant so much to us all. you have taught me the true meaning of "FAMILY" and i will hold that in my heart forever. the "smith family" loves you more than words can ever say!

To the great giant that gave everything to everyone. Uncle Ben only asked for on thing in return. His wish is for a family to love each other and care about each other. He is our warrior, mentor, and friend. There is no greater man that has lived. He now lives on in each of us. I have been blessed by his influnce in my life and his powerful example of love. I am forever humbled by his great gift of loving service to his fellow kind. The emptiness will be vast but the promise of the future is great in the fact that we have the opportunity to live as he has. Thank you
