Sad news - Fallen corvette member
hello. I wanted to let folks know that LTC Ben Dulling @GentleBen (GentleBen) passed away in his sleep last week. I know he attended many events as part of this forum and events outside of this community. He will be dearly missed by all those that knew him and loved him.
From speaking with his family, he has the honor of being interred at Arlington National Cemetery and I can share those details with those that would like to attend as they become available. Ben Duling (LTC, U.S. Army, Retired) |

R.I.P. Ben. He was a good man and a great friend. I will miss him greatly. Drink a toast to his memory tonight…

This is extremely sad news. Ben was one of two benefactors for my daughter during high school and college. He gave her a LOT of money over the years. He is dearly missed.

For those interested maybe we can do a little corvette gathering at my house or go out to Dixie Bones. I think Ben would have liked that.
