I'm so sorry for your loss! Uncle Ben was a wonderful person! He was also a very funny person! I remember him always smiling too! When I think of Uncle Ben I think of the family reunions we used to have and how they all usually ended up with everyone playing euchre. Ben and my dad (Frank)really enjoyed playing euchre and it must have rubbed off because I like playing it too. It must be a "BROWN" thing!!! Please accept my condolences.

We are so sorry to hear about Uncle Ben passing away. He was a wonderful man. My Dad (Frank) loved his older brother very much and they had fun talking about baseball, automobiles, euchre victories, and their families. Ben always had a smile on his face and was very witty. We will be unable to attend the services as we are in South Carolina but you are in our thoughts and prayers. May he rest in peace.
With sympathy, Rhonda and Dan Dunn
