my deepest condolences to the family ..i hope you are at peace ..you fought to the end a real warrior

My deepest and sincere condolences to Marguerite and family. It’s been a long journey but Ben is finally at peace. May you forever REST IN HEAVENLY PEACE.

I love you Benny. And miss you dearly. R.I.P.

My love is sent to all the family. This was definitely a hard hit. Who will make everyone laugh like Dave. His funny jokes were unmatched. He was a true and loyal friend since the day we met. No distance changed anything. I will truly miss laughing with him and hearing his loud voice. He was a little guy with a big heart and a wonderful personality. You could always depend on him to be a man of his word.My prayers are for all of the friends and family. Dave will be missed tremedously.

Love Nicole Taylor

Margurite, my memories of Ben always warm my heart. One memory, in particular, stands out from the family reunion in North Carolina. After the reunion at the hotel, most of the family went to one of our cousin's houses for an after-party, but I decided to stay behind and clean up. Ben saw me cleaning and said, "Cuz, what do you need me to do?" I told him I had it under control, but he insisted that he wasn't going to let me clean by myself. He rolled up his sleeves and went through that room like a whirlwind, and we got it done together. His act of love and kindness has never left my heart. I believe that Ben is now soaring above the clouds with the doves. God has him now. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Love you. Cuz Jeannette

Margurite, my heart goes out to you and your family. You have my Deepest Sympathy. Ben was such a loving and kind person and he will be missed. In this difficult time, sending thoughts of comfort, knowing that God will give you and your family the strength to get through this difficult time. The candle may go out, but the memory of its light remains. I will keep you and the family in prayer. With Love, Aunt Mary

Margurite, thank you for taking such good care of Cousin Ben. He fought a good fight, finished the race and God decided, it was time to come on home to get his wings. No more suffering and no more pain. Ben loved his family and it showed every time he was around any of us. He spoke so highly about you and it showed every time both of you were together. May his memories bring you peace and comfort during this time of grief. Love you both, and know that he is at peace now, resting safely in the arms of God. My condolences goes out to all his family and friends who loved him. RIP my cousin until we meet again.

I grew up on Monroe ave and Dave would take my block home after school. He was the shortest out the crew but had the biggest heart, Dave was a kool dude funny as hell a true firecracker, always wanted to race always to sewer he will definitely be missed. Till we meet again my Brutha rest easy lil Dave.!!

I lived on Monroe Ave like most of us who knew David early in life. He was a real cool person. Always reminded me of Special Ed. He was wise beyond his years. I could hear him screaming CHEWY all the way down the block. He will truly be missed. My condolences to the family

David and I got back well over 30 years. It was a crew of us that hung out together almost everyday. I was the fastest out of the crew but they tried to take my throne like everyday especially David. Oh how he tried but never succeeded. He was a fighter til the end.

My man David is gone to soon but never forgotten.

My condolences Go out to you all. CES was more than just a friend. He family. I can sit back and think about the time he would spend the night and we will play pool all night on this little short table. He always had jokes always play with the kids Bowling He was a good guy he would truly be missed from this side. *Quoney

My condolences cousin sorry for your loss keeping you and you family in prayer Love y'all be blessed Love Keisha

Condolences to my beautiful cousin Margaret and family. Love you and pray God will pull you through this in Jesus name Amen

My condolences to the family may God comfort you in your time of bereavement. God bless!

Ben was a joker and one of his corny jokes that I’ll always remember is “What is black and white and read all over?”

Without giving it any thought my response was “I don’t know” then he replied with “a newspaper.”

I pray you all remember his smile and witty humor.

Sincerely Alicia Mann
