Ben Cline
June 21, 1939 — November 6, 2012
Ben Walter Cline passed away November 6, 2012. He was born on June 21, 1939 in Murray, Utah to Gladys Crump & Lavere Benjamin Cline. He grew up in Holladay, Utah, graduating from Olympus High School. Ben and his brother Earl (deceased 8/27/12) were called up with the Army National Guard and served our country valiantly.
He married his sweetheart Phyllis Mary Gregersen in the Manti Utah temple, March 22 1963. They moved immediately to Kansas. Ben and his father built a home in Overland Park where they raised their 7 children; Nicolle Christensen, Corey Cline, Loni Jones, Collette Culp/Shillcutt, Shanise Slamin, Tausha Scarff, Cyrena Semrau.
As a master carpenter, he ran his own business with his son and sons-in-law for many years. Some of the things that brought him the most joy were his 40 grandchildren, his work in the LDS temple, and his service to those around him.
Gentle Ben was a devoted son & brother, a loving husband, doting father, grandfather, & great-grandfather. His service will continue as he prepares an eternal home where someday they can all be an eternal family. Until then he will be missed beyond measure.
