As I rode my bike up to one of the Sea Island homes on the Christ Church tour one year I saw Ben getting off one of the buses bringing people for the tour. I called out to him and gave him a big hug. With his beautiful grin he explained that all the people on the tour were shocked over and over as Sea Island ladies (and men) kept enthusiastically greeting and hugging him at every stop. Anyone who knew this precious man would have understood why. What a beautiful and original work of art Ben was! He will be missed.

I Knew Ben for over 30yrs. I never have met anyone so kind, funny, endless wit, always there when you needed him. He had so much talent, a true artist.

I will so miss Ben...the lover of the long conversation, the generous heart, and always the caring friend. I send prayers, hugs and love to his family. Peggy Everett

No matter where I saw Ben he had that beautiful smile and great Hug to share. I'll miss being able to stop in the frame shop for a chat. My thoughts and prayers for the family. Pat Weaver

Nancy, and family we are sorry to hear of the  loss of Ben. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Larry & Linda Prosser

Ben was a good friend at Glynn Academy. My heart felt condolences to the family.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

I have so many wonderful memories of Ben, what a kind, gentle and funny man. I will really miss my visits to the Gallery. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. A great soul serves everyone all the time, a great soul never dies. Love , Lisa Moody

Ben has been a bright spot in my life for many years.  I'll miss his calls asking about a color of mat board he needs, or just dropping in the shop on his way home to sit and talk. I wish for him peace now and pray that he and Reggie are together again.  My deepest sympathy to his family.  We have all lost a bright spot in our lives.

I will always remember Ben's unfailing kindness & sweet spirit. There are few people with absolutely no meanness to be found in them. Ben was one of those. He will be remembered with much affection.

I am so very sorry to hear this sad news. Ben was unfailingly upbeat and cheerful whenever I saw him.  I believe he had been in my mother's Spanish class at Glynn Academy.  She always had nothing but the highest praise for Ben.  He will be greatly missed.

I am so sorry for your loss!  Ben was one of my closest friends when we were young, and I was so glad to get back in touch with him at the recent reunion. the world lost one of its greats!

My heartfelt sorrow to the families. Ben and I shared so many wonderful stories, memories and he sure knew how to make a 1st graders art look like a million bucks! He was one of a kind with a heart of gold, a good friend, loving and funny! Ben, you will be so missed but I sure do treasure the wonderful conversation we had on Thursday! Much love, Gina D'Amico Lever

Ben,
The Hoffman family will truly miss your smiling face. I always loved when you came to visit us at the salon. My thoughts and prayers to your family. 
Love, Corey, Kristin,Peyton, Wyatt Hoffman

Our thoughts and prayers to all of you.  Our family has experienced much grief this year, but we know God is Good and never leaves us. Psalm 119:50  My comfort in my suffering is this: Your promise preserves my life.

Thoughts and prayers are coming to you from Redfern Village.  Ben was a wonderful friend, neighbor and artist.  He will be greatly missed.

You all know that Ben will always be one of my dearest friends and a huge void has been left in my heart as I know it has in yours. I treasured his drop in visits which never failed to brighten my day. He understood me, always supported me, and loved me. If you were Ben's friend there was never any doubt. He gave me so much, probably without his even realizing it. 
Love to you all today and always.

To all of Ben's family,  We are deeply saddened to hear of Ben's death.  We have nothing but very fond memories of Ben when we had a store at Redfern Village  and also of many conversations with him at each other's  shops.  He was a fine person and will be missed by all.  Sybil and Larry  D'Amico

Dear family, My thoughts and prayers are with you. Ben was a very special person and I was glad to have him as a friend. He was great doing his job at Lyman Gallery and I will miss seeing him their.

Rest in Peace, Ben.. This community will certainly miss you!

This just broke my heart!!  Nancy, Linda, Lester, Reggie....my thoughts and prayers are with you all during this most difficult time!  I wish Tom and I were closer so we could be there for you all!  Much love,  Susan and Tom Whitfield

Dear family,  Our deepest sympathy.   You are in our thoughts and prayers.   Love you all.   Love,  Wiley and Mary Younce and family,  John and Karen Henderson and family
