All Condolences -

John and I are so sorry for your loss. Ben was such a great man and friend. He had the nicest smile together with an impish grin. When John and I use to walk we would always see Ben and Mary Ann riding around. They were a wonderful couple and he has missed her terribly. Now they are once again together and like they use to be. Hopefully thinking that will help the family make it through this difficult time. We're losing a lot of the good ones. John and Bonnie Spry
