Not sure what to say?

My sincerest sympathy to the Brown family on the passing of Ben. I worked with him for a number of years during our time with Boston Fire and he will be missed by many I’m sure May he rest in peace

Janet, Michelle and Robyn so sorry for your loss. Ben was a great guy! Thoughts and prayers to you and your family.

A real good guy and a great fire officer to work with always a pleasure to work with on Rescue 1 Boston

Rest in peace Ben. Enjoyed our time on Rescue One.
