Ebenezer (Eb) is survived by his wife, Rosa Pareja-Sunanda, his daughter, Elizabeth Witmer, son-in-law, Tom Witmer, and 2 grandchildren, Paul and Ruthie Witmer. Ebenezer's extended family includes Eduardo and Luz Novoa of Santiago, Chile, as well as Miriam James of Hoskote, India. Eb was born in India's Karnataka State in 1927.
