Ben Storek

He was a great man and first Czech Storek at Harvard - I was second. We have never met but we were in email contact. RIP!

Oh Dad, I can't believe that you are gone. I hope you are having a great time! I dream of you almost every night and keep you in my heart all the time. I love you so much for helping me, and for being the best, exceptional Father, I know that you are watching over me. I love you forever. ..your one and only daughter! :).

All I can say is... Ben was one of the greatest Czechs I have ever met. One of the best things is, we do not even know how many people Ben has helped. Being actually a refugee from a communist country, he had strived to help people who were seeking political and religious freedom in a freedom-granting country. His life would be a great topic for a bestseller book. I remember and value our conversations in both Prague and Tucson. My deepest condolences go to Mark, Karen and Frantisek....

Ben was a neat friend of mine when I was organist at St Andrews Presbyterian. During 7:30 service we would chat a bit in my office. We had much in common at that point in time. I remember our conversations well. And
he always liked great classical music.
Have thought about Ben and Jana often through the years. My love and support to you Jana and the rest of the family

Our condolences to the entire Storek family. We will remember him fondly

Jana,
I am so sad to hear of Ben's passing. He was an amazing man with a heart of gold. The dog park went totally downhill when he stopped coming. He had the ability to include and engage anyone/everyone in conversation. I love this picture of him, because that's how I picture him in my heart & mind: that big, loving smile. I am selfishly sorry he's gone, but as David would say: he's gone to the 'yet larger room' and I'm sure we'll meet again someday. You and his family are in my heart &...

I met Ben in the early 70's when we were playing volleyball at the YMCA..we became friends and he was a nice man...I think I last saw him in Baggins on Campbell..He had a cane..we had a short visit..I will never forget him..

Jana, Karen, Mark....
Even here in Colorado we receive news we don't want to hear/see. How very sorry we are that your dearest Ben has died. He was very unique....but you already know that, don't you? He will be missed by us and many others.

So very sorry to hear about the passing of our dear family friend. Ben was a true friend to my parents and my whole family.
You will be missed.
