My Mother Eleanor (Ben's Brother), my Dad, and my own family wish to express our sorrow and condolences to Ben's family. I will cherish my own memories of my Uncle--he was my Confirmation sponsor when I was in the 8th grade.

Also, we would have great Pacocha family get togethers. Ben was an honest and hardworking man; a loving parent and dedicated husband. His memory will live on with me. Nephew Ted Czech
