Ben was a great one.  He will be sorely missed.

THINKING OF ALL OF YOU TODAY....THIS WAS A WONDERFUL TRIBUTE TO BENS LIFE. I KNOW YOU WILL MISS HIM VERY MUCH.
SINCERELY, 
MELINDA AND GARY HARTNER

We never had the pleasure of knowing Ben Mechling, only his lovely daughter Pam. We send our love.

We affer our condolences to Dorothy and family as former across the street neighbors. This is Cottonwood Point and we enjoyed Ben's presence years ago.

Where to begin? I knew Ben for a short time when I opened MacKenzie Place. Ben was my favorite, I loved his dry humor & lively character. He would walk to ""The Lodge"" almost every day to get a cookie & coffee or strawberry soda. Then he'd stuff his pockets with mints to give to the girls at the front desk. I loved his golf stories of caddying for Fum McGraw & starting the FCHS & CSU golf teams. BUT - his best stories were told when my son Jarrod interviewed him for a Veterans project at Preston Junior High. Ben was a perfect ""model"" of a patriot. My son was so proud that Ben was ""his"" veteran at the school reception. The Coloradoan even featured a picture of Ben talking to the students in the library. What a great man,patriot, husband, father, grandfather, son, dad - & friend. You will be missed by many. Thank you for sharing your stories & touching our lives.
Sincerely - Wayne, Janet, Landon & Jarrod Flax

One day, long ago, and while I was living in Longmont, I received a UPS package from Ben.  I opened the package to find this odd looking contraption that looked like the mask worn by Hannibal Lector in ""Silence of the Lambs"".  Turns out Ben had sent me a 'Fastidy Belt'.  Ben was always trying to get me to loose weight!!
I will miss Dad and Ben, but I'm comforted in the thought they are joining other old friends like Bob and Bart, to play golf non-stop.  Yes, there probably is a little bit of bickering involved, but I'm sure they are having a great time!!

Uncle Ben was one of a kind. I will always remember the kind things he did for others especially when he helped Austin find the apartment owned by the Arizona Country Club. Ben was so proud that he helped Austin get settled and near to him and Dorothy. I will miss him and his crushing hugs.
