So sorry for your loss. Ronald was in our PHS class of 66. I put his obituary on our PHS Class of 1966 facebook page that only members of the class can see. We did that after our 50 year reunion. Ronald was a very nice person and I have lots of fond memories growing up with him at the church. My deepest sympathy to the family.
To the Bench Family, So sorry for your loss. Ronald was a great guy, always there for our family in our time of need. Prayers go out to all of you and strength in the days ahead.
I am sorry for your loss. My condolences go to the family and friends of Ronald Bench. May you find comfort knowing that "there is going to be a resurrection" and you can see your loved one again (Acts 24:15).
My condolences for your loss. Please continue to draw strength and comfort from the One who generously supplies it. "Through prayer and supplication let your petitions be made known to God"....and he will give you peace. (Philippians 4:6)
Patti and William, I am so sorry for your loss. Having just lost my brother, James Lane, June 29, I know something of how you feel. I'll keep you in my prayers during this difficult and painful time. May God hold you in the palm of his hand.
