May 28, 2020 at 2:45 pmDaddy how do I begin to start life without you? I love you so much and I am still in disbelief and can’t except that you’re gone. As I told you many times you were a great father and nothing will ever change the bond that we share not even death. Know that you are forever my “HERO “

May 30, 2020 at 8:00 amTo the family of Benjamin J. Weston (Benny), know that he was a man among men. He was soft spoken but firm in his beliefs and would always give him opinion when asked. First time that we meet he inspired me to be the best that I could be and he always told me to worry about myself and not the people around, trust God in leading you and always smile. He was a true friend. I will miss him.
Be it resolved that Benny was true to his friends and the masonic family. He could always be depended on to give his insight and explain why. Be it resolved that on May 22, 2020 the Grand Creator of the Universe decided to call my friend from labor to reward and rest in the safety of HIS arms. Be it resolved that Benny will be missed by family and friends alike; his laugh, his smile and his demeanor. Be it further resolved to know that we are here for the family, if needed. For he was a true friend to me and my family. Take pleasure in knowing the GOD makes no mistakes and that on the recommendation of JESUS CHRIST, Benny was called home from his completed work on earth. Rest in Peace, my friend; enjoy the beauty of the Master Paradise, sing praises unto HIS name.

October 15, 2023 at 2:10 pmJust finding about the passing of your beloved Benny. I traveled from Smithfield, VA to get my hair coiffed. He was protective of his clients. When persons would come in looking for a handout, he would not allow them to bother his clientele but would reach in his pocket to assist them. He spoke so lovingly of his wife and family.
May God comfort and bless you.
