I would like to send my heartfelt condolences to Carol, Jim and Joe. Ben was like a second dad to me when I was growing up. He along with Carol were a huge influence on me and have contributed to who I am today. I remember Ben running to catch up with me when I left my house upset and he would listen to me until I felt better. One instance of many and all cherished. I will never forget him and send my thoughts and prayers to his family.
Debbie Rauber says
This man first introduced himself to me as “gentle Ben” As my love for him grew I knew there could be no other name for him. I will greatly miss Ben and his smile. I love you so much Carol and I am praying for God’s strength and comfort in your heart. I can’t wait to see you very soon back in our beloved Montana.

Praying for you Ms. Carol and all of your family. What a wonder, talented man. I have only known Ben for a few short years through our Montana Mission trips. He is such an inspiration to me and an encouragement in my life. I so looked forward to seeing Ben again July 2014.
We greatly love you Carol and are praying for you. God willingly, we will see you this July.
We will all be together again one day. What a day of rejoicing that will be!!!
