Ben was more than a friend, he was my family and as family we did not always see things in the same way but we could count on that we would be there for each other God willing. Ben was loved and will be missed, he goes to hang out with his buddy Bobby and as Bobby's sister said anyone hanging with them will need Depends cause they will laugh so hard they will wet themselves. Love and sympathy extends to all that knew Ben, he might be gone but will never be forgotten. I look forward to seeing him on the other side.
