Dear Mary Ellen and family,
I am so glad that you had such a wonderful, humble and kind man,in your lives. I was always happy to see Ben. Your tribute to Ben in the Santa Cruz Sentinel was grand. I did not know all the details of his military career and am amazed at his humility. I am honored to have known him. God Bless your family. You are in my prayers.
