Condolence: Mr. Bente has been a long time friend of my family. I remember my family and I riding to church with them when I was young. I remember when we lived in Oakdale, Mr. Bente liked to eat the seckle pears in our yard. :) They also helped to make my parents 25th and 50th anniversary cherished memories. He was a good man...

Condolence: I loved Mr. Bente and can only look forward to seeing him again in God's Kingdom. Until then, I will miss his voice and our talks. Our prayers for comfort for Mrs. Bente will continue.
