I've loved Ben since our first backgammon game many many years ago.  He was indeed an angel flying too close to the ground.

I always told Benjamin that "if anyone would ever write my life story, he'd be there, between each line of pain and glory!!"  Benjamin is the best thing that ever happened with me.  Wow did we have fun!!  I love him, and he knew it. We left nothing unsaid, or undone.  I truly miss him already. The love and friendship can never die.

Ben was a wonderful brother & brother-in-law, a caring uncle, and a great friend. We'll miss him terribly, our hearts at peace as his body is finally at rest. He will always be remembered for his kind spirit, great sense of humor, and loving smile!

I loved Ben very much and he was such a great person to me as a child. He was witty, funny, and kind. I will miss him very much.
