  		Obituary- Stach, Benjamin 3 In Memoriam In memory of Benny Stach, who passed away 29 years ago on November 4, 1966. We believe when our loved one was called away, That God was creating an artist’s bouquet, As the Master places each blos¬som with care, We believe each has a special place there. God in His infinite wisdom knows Just where each particular blos¬som goes. God chose our Benny and took him away. With eternal love, He placed him in His bouquet. Sadly missed by his parents, brother and sister, Mr. and Mrs. Ben Stach, Dr. and Mrs. Robert Stach, Ryan, Justin and Chris, Mr. and Mrs. Vern Gannon and Nicole.
