Although we didn't know Ed, we are sure he was an amazing man. He raised a pretty amazing daughter and has a wonderful grandaughter. Our prayers are with Dotty, Bonny, Lily, Jaime, Matt and the whole family.

Dear Benton Family,
We have lived on Northway for awhile now and Ed was one of our favorite neighbors. He was always happy to see us and my husband Jeff will sorely miss seeing Ed and hearing "How ya doin', son?" Our most heartfelt condolences and prayers that your many memories will sustain you during this difficult time. We will sure miss him....

My deepest sympathy to Dotty, her and Ed's children and extended families. Ed was a great hunter and Mr. Fix-it. Loved his kindness and bountiful spirit, his support of his wife and family. Forever in my memories and heart.

I wrote the initial draft of the obit and Bonny and Helena helped me fine tune it.

Pop Pop was an unbelievingly loving and all around great grandfather. The man was so handy it seemed he could fix or build just about anything. I have peace knowing he's with God this Christmas and is no longer in pain. He will be missed greatly and things will never be the same without him. Love you Pop.
