To the Family and Friends of Ben,
I came to know Ben at the Woodbriar of Wilmington as he and my dad, Harry Fishburne, became good friends in their time there together. Ben would join us for card games after lunch. He was a gentleman. Such a nice person to be around. He would always come to my organ concerts and I looked forward to seeing him sitting in the front row. I am blessed to have know Ben and I will miss him.
Sincerely,

Kathy Krawczyk
