We have known each other since kindergarten. You always stopped by my house to gossip and see how I was doing. I needed something done, you came to help. Remember painting my kitchen. We talked and talked while I kept the coffee coming. I can't believe I have to say "See ya later" to another friend. I know you have a guitar and can sing with the angels. I'll miss you.

I met and became friends with Ben all the way back in Middle School at York Suburban. I recently got back in touch with him on Facebook and followed what he was up to. I know he will be greatly missed by everyone that knew him and I would like to extend my deepest heartfelt sympathy to his family. I pray the Lord above will bring you peace and comfort during this very difficult time.
