Ben, along with the Suprunowski failmy, have been a big part of my failmy's life . We have watched Ben grow up to be such a great young man and a pleasure to be around. Our kids consider him their "little brother."I am the General Director of the Dunes Bible Camp where Ben and his failmy have worked and been involved in many areas of our camping ministry for more than 20 years. At a young age Ben would be here at the camp during the summer because his mother Karen would be working as a cook in our kitchen. He and his sisters and my children would spend the days using the facilities of the camp to enjoy the summer months.When Ben was old enough to help, he would work with the campers as a camp counselor. I never had to worry about Ben's abilities to do what was expected of him. There is a lot of responsibility in taking care of a cabin of boys and, while taking his job seriously, Ben would make camp super fun for each kid.You may not know but Ben received his associates degree from Clatsop Community College at the age of 17. Ben will take on a challenge and with his true determination will see it to the end.The last few years Ben has worked full time, in the summer, to help the Dunes in many different jobs. Ben would be asked to clean cabins, mop floors, mow lawns, wash dishes and many other tasked that come up during the camping season. I can tell you that I have never heard Ben complain about anything that was asked of him. He always has a great attitude, and is a pleasure to have work for us.We are praying for Ben's full recovery, we know that God has great plans for this young man, camp worker, pickleball player, jokester, friend and fellow Christian. We love you Ben

to me, I'm sorry for ruining your prposoal, in which I reply, it's ok man, I'm just glad you are all ok and will still be here when it does happen do we know anything about the other driver? No word Helpless An epic battle to keep back the tears and maintain my composure. The Enemy has a terrible way of claiming our tears and this was no exception.I had never met ben before that day. But all I could think about was my intent to propose to Rachel played it's part in damaging an incredible life. And I felt guilt, anger, sadness, everything the enemy feeds off of, and I could see alot of those things in Sam's eyes too. How could a day that was supposed to be so wonderful and full of tears of joy become this terrible day. I am not a religious man, but I know, not believe, but know, that god is holding ben and all of you now, As he has always. He may not have been able to reach down and stop those cars, but he was there, he was watching with tear soaked eyes just as I was. I feel him still, even now when ben needs him the most, he is still taking time to touch each and every one of us.I wish I knew ben before that day, I wish that they would have missed eachother, that ben would have made it to his destination and the prposoal worked out the way I imagined it. I can't express the heavy heart that I have for the suprunowski family right now. But I feel god with all of you, as ben stands fighting, know god is the ring and we are the fans cheering them on.This is my story of how I met ben. It hurts that I don't know his under different circumstances, but I am honored. And humbled to have seen his light, and I am blessed to be apart of the miracles being posted every day. that we should all stand in the light as darkness spreads, we will be saved and protected for as long as the light remains in our hearts Ben, I'm sorry my friend. Please stay with us.

Karen Thompson - Hi Sue,Hope all is well with you.I just thought I would let you know that Murray the buodllg who was in your original portfolio passed on yesterday. He had problems with cancer and for a while was doing very well after having a leg removed. Unfortunately the cancer came back and to avoid any suffering they took him in yesterday. Tara treasures the photos you took of Murray when he was a pup which will always remind her of what a happy joyful dog he was.All the bestKaren Thompson

It has been many years but I remember Mr Kerber well from his work at Loblaws and Great American and, being a former Triangle girl, I especially remember all of his wonderful work w/ the Lodge and Demolay. My condolences, thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

I was saddened to hear of Art's passing. When Art came into my life I was just a teenage boy. Life's circumstances were such that my father was not in my life at that time. In my mind, my father was the only man that deserved the title "Dad". I was to be proven wrong. Art, along with Tim Esford and Teg Roberts, became my Chapter Dads in Ilion's Roosevelt Chapter, Order of DeMolay. Together they worked to give me the guidance and direction I needed at that unstable period in my life. I also gained Scott as a fellow DeMolay brother. I will always cherish and remember the memories of working the Shriner's Circus as a concessions vendor, the many travels, visitations to other chapters, and conventions that we all had together throughout the state. After military service and the start of my new family, I felt a sense of obligation to give something back to the lodge and community. I joined the lodge, and those who were my Dads now became my fellow brothers. We did many good things together, and had fun along the way. I had a brief period where I also served as a Chapter Dad for DeMolay, but my efforts paled in comparison to what the three of them did together. Sadly, the DeMolay chapter is no longer in existence. There are still young men that could benefit from such a worthy organization and fellowship. Although I have not been an active member in the lodge for many years, I have not forgotten what Art and the Masonic community did for me. The greatest compliment and tribute I can pay to Art is that he gave of himself and his time, saw the goodness in me, placing my feet on the right path with words of encouragement so that I might strive to do and be better. That is what "Dads" do. My sincerest condolences to the Kerber family for their loss. My faith tells me that although we are saddened with our loss upon Art's passing, he has been reunited with his beloved Edie, who was so important to him in his life. Thank you, Art, for all that you did. Rest in peace, "Dad", "Brother", and friend.

My sincerest sympathy to the entire family upon Art's passing. Art touched many lives in a positive way, including mine. I have posted my thoughts on here under the stories section, titled "Dad". His deeds spoke louder than my words.
