If this is Ben born Sept 25th 1952 I can't imagine my life without him. My memories of him remain with me always. I met Ben at an extremely difficult time of my life during 1976 to 1979. We met at his father's house on the Chesapeake Bay. After I married in 1989, we stayed in contact until the early 90's. I moved to Ft Myers Florida in 1979 and he would occasionally visit me there. He was the most extraordinarily kind and generous man. He was a devoted companion to me and my 4 to 7 years old daughter for three of the most difficult years of our lives. I can't imagine surviving those years without his kindness, support and compassion. Please accept my deepest condolences. I am saddened beyond words and will forever hold him in my heart. Linda

I was saddened to learn that Ben had passed. Ben was a long time L3 / Lockheed / GE / RCA employee. He was conscientious and a pleasure to work with.

I knew Ben from our Sangha Space Dance Community in Media, PA. He was a friendly kind person to dance with who had great patience for my stumbling tango. He always had a kind word of encouragement. Sometimes I got to walk with Ben and my friend, Judy, his companion, in Ridley Creek State Park. He shared some of his interesting engineering work I'd never have known of. He was always even-tempered and friendly with a warm hello, a trusted neighbor and friend in the dance community. Deepest sympathy for your loss. May your memories be a comfort.
