Gillett, AR Friday, June 1, 2012 Ben was a dear and loving child and was the hardest working little guy we have ever known. He was always there with Uncle Ronnie and Mr. Phil handing them tools, planting seeds, and and asking questions. He stayed busy "fixin" everything they worked on from his own John Deere rig to the real tractors they used in the gardens. He loved his Mimi and Papa almost as much as he loved God and will never be forgotten.Sheila Gardner
