I quite regularly think about my friend Ben and Sachi. Many years ago, I worked for Ben at Priam and developed a very strong respect and friendship for him. He was the major influence to my professional career in Sales. My wife and I later became friends with him and Sachi and look warmly to their irreplaceable guidance and friendship.

I'm very sad to hear of Ben's passing. Ben reported to me at Qume and was both a wonderful person and an outstanding sales executive.

Ben was a real character, mentor, teacher, leader and friend. Ben changed my life. His persistent influence guided me into a sales career of endless opportunities and financial success. A truly great man, we'll all miss him.
