Ben will be truly missed by his children Karen (Robert) Cummings of Coquitlam, Bryan (Donna) Schultz, Kevin (Suzanne) Schultz, Debbie (Rob) Brown, Judy Schuh (Rich) all of Armstrong, Wayne (Carol) Schultz of Kelowna and his good friend Al Schuh of Vernon.

• Unfortunately I cannot make it up for the funeral due to work; but I want to add my condolences to all my cousins and their families. I know how you all must feel. I am glad I got to visit with uncle Ben, last summer at Wayne's wedding. It's been a while.
  
  Uncle Ben lived a good long full life and you; as his children are his legacy. Be proud of that. So long uncle Ben and god bless.

• I was sorry to hear about Uncle Benny passing away, our prayers and thoughts are with all of you at this time.
  
  When I think about Uncle Benny I think of the time I was up on the farm visiting, I was on my way to the washroom in the dark and all of a sudden I bumped into Uncle Benny, well we were both scared out of our wits.
  
  I spent some good times up on the farm, the first time was after Uncle Benny & Auntie Sheila got married, there were no kids in the picture yet. The smell of home baked buns was the greatest smell going. Thank goodness we have our memories of our loved ones. Sorry I am not able to make it tomorrow.
  
  With love

• My thoughts and prayers are with you all. He will be missed greatly.
  Uncle Benny will always hold a special place in my heart. All his smiling, and laughing while teasing me with that twinkle in his eye. I have lots of wonderful memories of my visits at the farm.
