O my Luve's like a red, red rose
That's newly sprung in June;
O my Luve's like is like the melodie

This man was the best teacher I ever had. My view of the world is because of him. He made my senior year one I will never forget. I will never forget this man. I can't find words to describe my feelings about his death. Grace and peace

Jokester. Storyteller. Vibrant. Energetic. Curious. Intelligent. Educator. Dynamic. Beloved. You will be missed Uncle Ben.

May the God of Comfort bring you peace during this difficult time

What a great man. God surely blessed him. I'm glad I got to meet him. What a great loss for his family. My prayers are with them.

May the family find peace and comfort in the God of all comfort
