Pat and family I was very sorry to hear about Doug. I wasn't sure where you lived, to send a card, so decided to send a message this way. I know he'll be terribly missed by all the Benson family. My thoughts are with you, at this time. Bev Burton - Posted by: Bev Burton (Friend and Fellow Bowling Person) on: Aug 09, 2017

Doug was a wonderful neighbor. I liked him the first time I met him when I moved next door in 1989. Right from the beginning, he was warm, friendly and outgoing. I always enjoyed saying hello and stopping for a chat. Both my wife and I are going to miss him. May he rest in peace. Our deepest sympathies to Pat and the entire Benson family. - Posted by: Gary Blake (Neighbour) on: Jul 22, 2017
