How lucky I have been to know such a wonderful man. He was always happy to see me and always had such a great smile on his face. I truly loved him and was blessed with the opportunity to tell him so before he left . God bless you Ben and thank you for your friendship. My heart goes out to your family as I know they will miss you as I will as well.

Grandfather,
I am so blessed to have such a great mentor in my life. I can only hope to be half the man you are!  I'm sorry we cannot have 100 more years here so please save a place so I can be with you again!  I love you Grandpa!  I'm glad Emily got to truly know what a "Great Grandpa" you R! Love, Jeremy
