He was a man I wish all men could be. A kind, intelligent, thoughtful loving man who wanted to stop all war and have only love and peace in the world. What a truly wonderful world we would have if all men (especially world leaders) followed his ideals. You will never be forgotten.

Just watched Ordinary Men. Truly fascinating. What an incredible life. I only wish it had come out sooner so I could have driven up the road only a few miles and said thanks in person. RIP Ben
