Army Trail Rd, Bloomingdale, IL). Interment private. Reverend Ben was admitted to the hospital in October 2015 due to swelling caused by Congestive Heart Failure. He fought hard for 2 months on his heart condition. He was in the Intensive Care Unit for 2 weeks not knowing the outcome. All of his doctors have sounded the alarm on his declining condition. But, because of his strong determination on everything that life itself presents kept fighting. Then on Christmas day while the family was there he started breathing on his own and showing signs of resurgence. The next day he was downgraded to transitional care. We were also to a point of heading to the next phase of Rehab facility. For 3 straight days he was filled with joy and excitement knowing things are going well. Reverend Ben was well determined to go home and continue to his church service at both St. Luke and Church of Incarnation. But on Tuesday morning of December 29th while he was chatting with his tireless nurses, he suddenly had a cardiac arrest and was not able to recover. He finally surrendered to God and left this world with great memories to his family and friends.
