My thoughts and prayers are with the Benak family. May God bless you while you honor this beloved man.
Me deepest sympathies. I have many wonderful memories of James. Mostly of the myriad of Coca Cola bottles stacked in the house and watching hm catch JIm in their front yard. Too bad Jim didn’t let his Dad know that he has throwing that breaking ball when it hit his Dad’s nose.
Thinking of you and your family in this time of loss. God Bless.
