Not sure what to say?

My dear Ben,
now I know why you have not returned my calls. I told you back in early April what a true genuine friend you have been to me and Ed. God bless you sweet friend, may you rest in peace.Thank you for making our lives so rewarding. We are truly better for having you in our lives. Until we meet again, just know we love you and Everett so very much. Every time I serve a cherry sno cone, I'll smile wishing I was handing it to you. Love, Lee & Ed

The best of Ben is now reflected in the two people he loved the most -- his mother, Ann and son, Everett. All of us can take comfort that the end came quickly, without compromising his spirit of independence.

I will miss you, Ben, but know you're finally one with the natural world you loved so much. Surely you are in heaven telling stories and making everyone laugh! RIP, Ben.

Young Ben. You will always be that to me. Blackjack and endless talks. And more than just a little Jack Black. I always thought I'd see you again, my friend.

Rest in peace brother

Rest in peace brother

A wonderful father and a good man who loved genuinely.I will miss him always, but most of all on mother's day and father's day as we always enjoyed being Everett's parents. May his weary body rest now in the arms of a loving, and forgiving, God who has been awaiting his arrival.
