We'll all miss Ben immensely. He was a trusted friend for over 50 years. Watched
get attacked on TV at the Freedom Tower while covering the downfall of the Batista regime. His courage was amazing.

Spencer, Beth and Family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.

Ben along with his family, Linda, Scott, Kurt, and Beth was an outstanding neighbor and friend. He was always willing to do anything to help as a neighbor and friend. Ben was a wonderful conversationalist and able to discuss with intellect any topic of conversation. He was a devoted father and husband. We will certainly miss seeing Ben walking around our neighborhood and conversing with him on so many topics. Our thoughts and prayers to Linda, Beth, Kurt and Scott and their families.

Ben was my brother-in-law. I remember him so well as he looked on the first picture.With family members,I would sit around the table, in amazement, at his journalism stories, the amazing things he had covered that day, told so casually.
He was charm.
He was intelligence.
He was quality.
I am honoured to have known him & treasure such fond memories.
I learned from him.
I love him.
