Title: Ben Graham Passed from this world today
Post by: Scott E. Thomas on October 26, 2016, 08:03:00 PM
Hey all you prayer warriors please lift up my friend and brother Ben Graham. Ben is really sick at this time. He can't keep anything down and is rapidly loosing weight. He has had just about every test there is and everything comes back negative. Doctors are baffled. Pray for healing, strength,and that God would comfort both Ben and his wife Linda. Thanks and God bless, Scott.

You are a true friend, Scott, and I'm privileged to lift up your friend.

Not that it will help, but a friend of mine in MT went thru something, that on the surface, seems parallel...and the docs there were baffled and he was headed toward a dirt nap.

Changing docs he came on one who had another idea and it turned out to be Beaver Fever...(Giardias SP?)...

Lyme is often un-diagnosed as well.  I have several friends who found they tested FALSE negative saying they didn't have Lyme and did.

Hopefully, God will hear our prayers and bring someone in the medical community to an insight to help your friend, Ben.

Help him keep the SON in his eyes!

Linda called me today and said that Ben is home from the hospital and is resting. This last episode was really rough on him. Please continue to pray for both of them. God bless, Scott.

Will add my prayers.

Got to be harder on the family left behind when they can't ID the cause of his decline...

Sad, but this world is not our home nor our resting place...

Peace that passes all understanding to be with the family...and his loyal friend(s).

I was unaware he was the maker of Humingbird bows.  Never handled one but heard they were well received...

Rest in peace, Ben.  Your work here is done.

Dock, here is a picture of Ben at Denton Hill probably about tens years ago. Its hard to believe you didn't know him or his wife Linda. He also set up at Baltimore a few times. God bless, Scott.  (http://i703.photobucket.com/albums/ww33/pricklybuck/IMG_0414.jpg) (http://s703.photobucket.com/user/pricklybuck/media/IMG_0414.jpg.html)

Thanks, Scott.

Face doesn't ring bells, but the clapper is out of my memory bank bell I think...    :rolleyes:    :knothead:  

That may have been my era where I quit trying bows cause nothing fit my paw... All the "custom" were just ala carte chinese take out menus of wood choices...

I mentioned to Linda that several folks have expressed condolences on many archery web forums. She asked that a photo of Ben's casket arrangement be added so folks could see how nicely decorated it was with Ben's archery gear. So, for Linda....

Doc,

Ben's recurve and arrows are in the floral arrangement on the casket. His mastrefully tooled side quiver hangs beneath. Seeing it in person was quite touching.

Thanks, Bud.

my vision isn't what it once was. I could see the bows ok, the quiver just fine, but didn't pik out the arrows...that's pretty cool.

A dear old gent passed before I got my first PA wild turkey... He and his wife were my neighbors and very special.  I showed her one of my tail feathers and she said to put it in with "Jack" in his coffin...

She had him dressed in his new dungarees, suspenders and flannel shirt.  That was how he dressed his whole life and she wasn't going to suit him up...

Me? Guess I'l just get toasted.  Nobody to grieve over me anyway...

Will continue to remember his family in prayer.

Prayers will continue for her transition and for those who knew and loved him...

Thanks for that feedback, Lee!
