A surprise party we threw for Ben before he went on his first trip to Japan. He looks more than ready for the Rising Sun!

An old friend, a nice guy, kind, funny, caring, giving, a competitor. He had a very big heart. He threw us a farewell party and we didn’t even know it! Miss his not being around, very much.
Rest In Peace, Ben.

Ben was a wonderful friend over so many years. I met Ben in 1976 through Iris and my brother Edsel. He was at my wedding in 1976, at my daughter’s first birthday, at Harvard at the same time when my daughter was there as an undergraduate student and at her weddin and many more events over the years. He was always fun to be with, a beautiful human being and he will be missed!
