My heart lays heavy knowing that Ben has passed on to a better place.
Ben and I became close friends as we worked for the Rusk County Sheriff’s office. I had worked 38 years supervising law enforcement officers, but very few could come close to the officer that Ben was. Ben was an outstanding, professional officer that was very loyal, conducting himself in a way that made you proud to have him standing by your side and I was proud to call him my friend and fellow officer.
I have known Wayne and Margie for approximately fifty years, and had visited with them in Gilmer, Texas and had asked them about Ben, and I told the both of them I would visit go visit Ben.
Due to my health issues, I was unable to visit Ben, but he will always have a place in my heart, and I will remember him as a friend.
May God bless the Reynolds family and we will keep the family in our prayers, only prayers and time will help in these times.
Retired Rusk County Sheriff Danny R. and Dolly Pirtle
