I worked with Ben, Rhonda and Mark in Reno, Nevada. Ben was a gentle person and we all enjoyed working with him. We missed them all when they moved back to Maine....... I loved his story about years and years ago, cutting wood in Maine, getting covered in snow, beards and all and he and his Dad walking to a mom and pop store and he looked like a Yeti. My thoughts are with you Rhonda. So glad you had so many years back where you wanted to be and not stuck in Reno!! Prayers to you all.

Dear Mrs. Coburn, Rhonda,Lorrie, and family,
I was sorry to hear of Ben's passing, I knew he wasn't well, but you always hope for the best.
I only have fond memories of Benny, growing up in Becket and his funny laugh. He could make you laugh even on the worst days. You all are in my prayers, hope to be with you when you decide on his burial.
Love,

I can't believe the year's passed by so fast since Ben, Rhonda and Mark moved to Maine. I've been thinking of all the wonderful times/memories at BLM and especially away from BLM and what good frienships we all had. I truly miss Ben's laugh and the stories he told. Ben and John are having a beer and Barcardi coke together. I'm here if you need me. May your hearts and souls find peace and comfort at this difficult time. Love always,

I never really knew him as well as some people in my family. But the times we watched patriots and talked about them were pretty awesome. I'll miss him deeply - he affected my life and brought me many new outlooks that I will cherish. Jokes about the movie A Christmas Story, and my red rider bb gun that I still have.
Also...go pats, and if you're out there somewhere lets have a super bowl next year! I know Ben would be pleased
