Our sympathy to all the family. Still picturing their homestead across the field from us. I spent lots of time at their house with Faye and family. Listening to the radio with their Dad, shooing flies out of the house with a dishtowels, milking cows in the barnyard. Oh so many memories.
Thinking of you.

Our sincere sympathy's to the Nelson Family. Ben was like a brother to Don, and while they worked together at Wick Homes, Don and Ben bonded and everything they worked on usually turned out great. Ben was a master of his trade, and even after all the years Don did carpentry work, Ben taught him more. We will all miss him greatly, and we lost part of our heart when Ben went to be with God. At least he is free from pain. May God surround you with his love and comfort.

Kayla and I, along with our families, would like to extend our sincere sympathies to you all.
Ben was such a kind, gentle man. He was always so good to our Mom, Beth Daugherty. She never forgot the walks he took with his dog right by the nursing home. She always looked forward to seeing them through the big windows in the dining room.
Know we are keeping you in our thoughts.
Take care, we care.
Kathy Kinney and family
Kayla Gosh and family
