I worked with your dad at kcnh. You girls got a one of a kind dad. He had us learn above and beyond regular nursing home care..and it showed everywhere!! It was awesome. And then we got a dog! Molly was great and was home with you girls every night. Animals were a great breakthrough for a nursing home! I am sorry about your tremendous loss. Denise Swigart.

Ben was the administrator when I got hired at KCNH.. He was a delight, he was very caring, always spoke to you in a kind voice, always speaking to you and he cared for his residents and Employees. He was always making ways to make it better at the Nursing Home . He would dress up for Halloween and have workers dress up for the kids on Halloween. He was a great Administrator and friend . He   will be missed. RIP Ben Perkins. So sorry for your family's loss and my deepest sympathy to the family. Prayers.

There are no words to express how much I will miss him, or what he meant to me. He was the most authentic, intelligent, unique, loving person I ever met.
