Larry, Bobby, Dan, David and Family,
I met Ben and Fred and most of you boys on Taylor Mesa where you were building fence - 50 years ago. Ben was an excellent fence builder, a hard worker and always a gentleman. I can pay him no greater tribute than to say he raised great sons. Of course your Mom had a lot to do with that as well. May Ben rest in Heavenly peace with Florence.
