Benjamin Balgord

Benjamin was one of the kindest and most generous people I've ever met. Whenever I was in his presence, he made me feel included and seen. It is a great loss to the world that he's no longer with us in his physical form, but his spirit surely lives on.

Mr. Balgord was my favorite teacher. He was always kind, he never raised his voice, and always did his best to listen and understand. He treated every one of his students with kindness and respect, and I'm so sad and sorry that he's gone. He will be forever missed and loved, and my condolences go out to his wife and kids.

I haven’t seen Ben since our West High days but I always remembered him full of life and love. Super funny. Genuine. I am so sorry to hear about his passing.

I remembering having so much fun babysitting Ben with Sarah and Elizabeth. Thinking of you all.

Ben and our three children grew up at the pool together. We all adored Ben. He was always outgoing, friendly and fun to be around. He will be greatly missed by all that knew him. Our hearts and prayers go out to the entire Balgord family. Love to all, Kerrin, Rory, Luke, William and Breanna
