    I can't believe I am just finding out that Ben passed away. I am in shock. I know last we spoke several years ago, he was doing well and putting up a great fight. I am so very sorry for his parents and his beautiful wife's loss. Ben was an amazing person and I know he is missed dearly. He was a wonderful friend and I can't say enough good things about Ben. Rest in peace Ben ? ?

    I am praying for your family. Ben could make anyone laugh and I remember the times we all spent together fondly. Ben never met a stranger. I still have friends that ask about Ben that met him once 10 years ago. My heart hurts for you Jessica and for his family. I can imagine Ben walking through the gates of heaven, making those around him chuckle at his humor. We will miss you Ben.
