There isn´t a day that passes that I don´t experience Ben´s work as he was beloved by my wife Mary. He helped to open our eyes to so many interior design options that we never would have found on our own. Ben was also great to work with as we liked to mix new and old together. The family should be sustained by the amount of love so many people had for him because of how he enriched their lives.

We see Ben every day in our home, in almost every room. He made such a difference for so many people, from his personality to his artistic talent for interior decorating. Recent guests commented on several of his additions to our home. Ben opened our eyes to new and different ideas. He would get a kick out of the fact that his ideas were so lasting.

I knew Ben through my sister, Christy. Although I didn't know him well, I knew what a giving and gracious man he was for many years to Christy as she dealt with her husband Casey's battle with cancer. Ben always had a smile on his face and a joyful attitude that was very engaging.
I am so sorry for your family's loss and will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Grace and Michael, I worked with Ben at his Westport and Crossroads studio. I have lots of memories of Ben living his life. He often ordered milk when were out to eat, said it was a carry over from childhood. I liked that. We all need to carry a bit of childhood into our adult life. I helped him with the flowers for Kate and Javier's wedding in Omaha,so I got to see him with his family. He liked his clan!!I learned a lot from Ben and was glad for our brief period of sharing life and work.

We consider ourselves one of the lucky one's to have worked with Ben. We began our relationship on a professional level and it quickly developed into a great friendship. When we look around our beautiful home, we feel Ben's presence. We got to experience and know his gentle nature and see his creative genius in action. He has left his mark on us and on our home and we feel a profound loss.

Dear Gig and Mike and all the family: We just are so very sorry for your loss of Ben. It's so very difficult to lose our loved ones, I know. When our son, Eddy, died someone sent this poem to us, and I have kept it all these years. I think it might help you a little too:
When you remember me, it means that you have carried something of who I am with you, that I have left some mark of who I am on who you are. It means that you can summon me back to your mind even though countless years and miles may stand between us. It means that if we meet again, you will know me, and hear my voice and speak to me in your heart. For as long as you remember me, I am never entirely lost.
I know many people were touched by Ben. I will be praying for you in the difficult days to come. We love you, and our hearts ache for you. Gail and Phil Bailey, Brett Jess and baby Phillip Edward

From Ben Jonson, when his son Ben, died:
It is not growing like a tree
In bulk doth make Man better be;
Or standing long an oak, three hundred year,
To fall a log at last, dry, bald, and sere:
A lily of a day
Is fairer far in May,
Although it fall and die that night—
It was the plant and flower of light.
In small proportions we just beauties see;
And in short measures life may perfect be. Garcia Family

We feel as if a family member has passed from our midst. Ben always had a smile and more ideas than he could articulate when you met him personally or professionally. His intelligence, drive, personality and humility will be missed by all who know him and those that would have met him in the future. Our sincere condolences to his family and friends.
