Benjamin Lee Rochester passed away on November 10, 2008.

Ben died at home alone on Monday night. He was the son of Karen Schneider (Class of 1960) and brother of Melvin (Class of 1991). We will all miss Ben and our hearts are broken but not our faith in God that we will see Ben again.

His service will be held at the Hines-Rinaldi Funeral Home located at 11800 New Hampshire Ave., Silver Spring, MD 20904 (301-662-2290). Visitation is from 2:00pm - 3:00pm and the Service is from 3:00pm - 4:00pm on Saturday, November 15, 2008. There will be a brief reception following the service at a local greek resturant.

At this time all we know is the time of death, but not the cause. He was suffering from kidney stones, Type 2 Diabetes, hypercholesterolemia and high blood pressure.
