My deepest condolences to the War Family. I grew up next to the War family in La Puebla. Ben War was such an awesome man in many ways, Thanks to that man and his family, majority of my childhood was adventurous due to living next door and for Tracy & April being my best of friends. I have so so many memories thanks to Ben & Family from my childhood. I can remember waking up on Sunday mornings for the early mass and always going for breakfast after, going to the drive up movie theater, going camping in high park and a few other places, going to the mud bogs, traveling around for hoop it up and other basketball tournaments, going four wheeling in the trucks, fishing, going to the parade's in the valley, and so many more these are just a few to share. I can always remember Ben being such a Loving man to everyone that was in his presence, I know he cherished his wife, kids, grand kids, and close friends I can truly say that cause I got to see it first-hand. I know that in his home I was always welcome at any time I practically lived with them I was like an adopted child to the family. I will always be thankful for being able to know Ben War and for him blessing me in many ways in exploring and having fun growing up. He was always so happy and fun to be around he had such a big heart so loving and kind he always went out of his way for everyone in his presence. I was blessed to know him.
Prayers for the family
