Benjamin Morris Linberger was born September 23, 1943 to Benjamin C. and Julia (Nerud) Linberger. He served in the US Navy during the Vietnam conflict and was honorably discharged. Ben was the self-employed owner of B&B Carpenters until he became disabled in 2001. He enjoyed hobby farming, hunting and fishing until health issues limited his activities. When his health declined, Ben learned to use the computer and navigate the internet with the help of his eldest son, Ben. His son, Ben’s love and patience help him on his “journey” to master the laptop. He will forever be grateful to his daughter-in-law, Shinell, and granddaughter, Danielle, whose selfless help enabled him to be at home until God called him. Ben passed away on Wednesday, May 13, 2015 at his home. He is survived by his wife, Marcy; sons, Ben R.
