My condolences to the Bender family. I'm sorry to hear of his passing. Jimmy was one of my best friends in the National Guard. We worked together in the same section. We had the same common interests such as the Vikings and sports. We had great fun while I was with him at the Army Guard and at summer camp.

I'm so sorry for the untimely death of Jimmy. I worked with Jimmy in the Guard. He was always ready with a joke or a story but a very competent technician as well. Farewell SFC Bender.
