To Robbie, Jeff, Andrea, Jane, and Donna, and your families, we offer our sincere condolences.
Ralph and Gertrude Bent were our long-time, kind, and generous neighbours in Granville Centre.
I will remember Ralph for kind deeds done.
I was always amazed by his ability to nimbly make his backhoe perform. In our experience, his work was meticulous.
Ralph had a quiet demeanour, but he could regale you with local stories and events from days gone by.
Ralph loved his family deeply.
Chad and John MacDonald also offer their condolences.
We miss him.

So sorry to hear of your dad’s passing. He was a strong, quiet and supportive man. I have fond memories of Ralph and Gert especially in my early years of teaching in Annapolis , their generous spirit and knowing they were always there when you needed them.

Robbie and Family, Andrea and Family and the whole Ralph Bent Family please accept our deepest sympathies on Ralph's passing. Certainly an interesting and hard working man. We first met Ralph when we moved to Granville Center and he did some work for us, as he continued to do for the rest of his working years. Although a quiet man, when you got to know him you realized he loved a good "yarn". The community has lost another icon. Our thoughts are with you.

Robbie, Jeff, Andrea, and Jane:
I am so sorry to hear of your father's passing and he was certainly one of the good people. I have known your parents for many years and consider them among my best friends. We had many good times together starting when we were teens and spent many a days at Milbury Lake sharing food, music and stories.
My thoughts are with you as you have lost both parents in less than three years and it is difficult to get through. I am sending sincere condolences and much love your way. COVID certainly places a difficult time right now and one cannot support you at this time.
Prayers and big HUGS coming ,your way. Ralph, you were a good friend and may, you Rest In Peace.

I am proud to share the last name of an honest, hardworking man. My grandfather taught his children the value of hard honest work which my father (Jeffrey Bent) passed down to my siblings and I (Gillian and Jarrett).
I fondly remember the Bent homestead, the horses, dogs, and cats, the apple and weeping willow trees, eating fresh vegetables from the garden, bird watching from the portch window, listening to my grandmother sing and play the organ, riding in and climbing on Papa’s heavy machinery, going to the mill and watching my
dad and Papa saw wood (which as a child was loud and incredibly scary), listening to bluegrass music at the cottage, Christmas dinners, witnessing my dad and spouse (Michael) get an old gas bike running and riding it around the yard like a couple of kids (while Papa watched and smiled). This is one of my last memories of him before he went into a nursing home.
I’ll miss his visits to the Cormier cottage to have dinner and with us when we were able to leave the city and head to the valley.
I will miss his quiet presence that I admired from a distance. Never getting to see him as much as I would have liked too.
There is a special place in my heart that the valley holds… one which city life never fully satisfies. My love of animals and nature I believe comes from my grandparents and I’m incredibly lucky to have had them teach me its value.
Papa may be gone, but his legacy will never be forgotten as it lives on in his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Love you always Papa, Jenna and Mike

Many fond memories of time spent at the Bent home and Milbury Lake. A quiet man but always would share a little grin. Christopher and I would often meet him in the winter while skidooing on the North mountain. He would tell Gert I’m going to see if the kids are on the mountain. Another long standing community member gone. Condolences to the family, thinking of you all.
