Not sure what to say?

I was very good friends with Ben in my late teen years. He was a great brother in Jesus and mentor of sorts being a bit older. We played guitar together quite a bit. He wrote a great song I wish I knew all the words to but I don't remember now. It was called "Once A Week Christian Blues". I remember us taking my really loud Twin Reverb amp out on the deck once in Happy Valley and turning it allll the way up to see what it would do. I hadn't seen him in many years and wish we'd reconnected...

We will miss you , your smile and friendship while still here.

I used to hang out with Ben when we were teenagers in the '60s. We were the same age and were both guitar players (he much better than I) and huge '60s music fans. Great, fun, and really talented guy. Whenever we saw each other he would immediately start singing Turn of the Century (an old Bee Gees song we both loved) and then I would join in with the high harmony. What good times.

Ben was a special part of our family and such an amazing man of God. I will always remember his singing and him playing the guitar! My thought and prayers go out to his family and friends! He will be missed!

Ben was a faithful man of God and a good friend to our family. I am sure he is happy in his place with God.
