Ben was a dear friend of mine and my family in our younger years. Not one person doesnt recall the life behind his huge smile. A heart full of love for all that he encountered. This is a tragic loss for all. My love is with Ben, his family and any one that needs some love through this... Always remembered, never never forgotten my friend.

My sincerest condolences to the family and friends of Mr. Frantzen. My heart and prayers are with you also.

I hope this tragic even will convince my 31 year old son, who also resides in Ririe, to take his cholesterol and other risk factors more seriously, now.

Mt heart and prayer also go out to his two daughters, who I am certain were his reason for being. And, also, to his wife, in this very difficult time.
