Mr. House my friend
My heart is broken 💔. You were a good friend we will miss. I’m honored to have known you. Seems like I had known you my whole life. House children, I pray God gives comfort in your time of need. Your father loved you all and always spoke about you with love. I probably know stories about each of you. We loved your father like family. If I can help in any way. Just message me.
I’m so, so, sorry to hear of Benny’s passing. I just saw this notice, so I was not able to make it to his memorial. I worked with Benny for years at the Papermill. He was my shift millwright and he was extremely good at his job as he bailed us out of trouble quite a few times! He was very conscientious of the things going on around the mill and knew where his priorities should be directed. I still have knives and other things that I had bought from him over the years. I really enjoyed my time working with him. My Sincere Condolences and Prayers go out for you and all of the House Family. May God bless you all.
Sorry I couldn’t make the service.He and I have been friends more years than I like to count.He was a good man and will be missed.My prayers are with you.
Beneal and Stephanie,
My heart goes out to you both. So sorry for the loss of your sweet daddy. I know how it is being a daddy’s girl. Sending lots of prayers, love and comfort for the days ahead.
Benny was a HERO. He will be missed. Prayers for the family. RIP Sir and thank you for your service.
My heart goes out to each of you in your time of loss. Benny was a great man and I loved our interaction in FB. Every time I passed his house I would always send him a salute. He was a very admirable man and I know he will be greatly missed. My prayers and best wishes to the family.
I’m so sorry to hear this. I had just texted with him Sunday or Monday. I met him as his UPS man many years ago. One of the best men I’ve ever met. I’m so sorry for your loss.
I am sorry to hear this. Praying for Family & Friends.
So sorry to hear the passing of Benny such a sweet man and family friend. My prayers to his family.
I was saddened to hear about Bennie passing. We spent a many a hour together at the Lamar Industrial Fire Fighting School together. Those were good times. He was one of a kind. To his family, my sincere condolences. I know he will be missed by all that knew him.
Ben & Cheryl, & family
