I feel lucky to have lived by you and your family. You were always kind and patient, and a great example of what we should all be like. I am sad you got sick. I wish you were still here being involved in the lives of your family and community. The world has lost a part of its goodness Ben. Thank you for being such a great servant while you were here. I hope we can do the same. You left big shoes to fill. We all love and miss you and look forward to seeing you when we meet again.

I met him when the family came to Illinois and visited The First Baptist Church of Cornell.
I have known the Moores for years. Jack n Kathy since school days.
My heart just breaks, for Kelly, kids and all her family and send my prayers as you all go forward.
His family, his parents need all the prayers from here on out.
May you ALL feel God's comfort n strength in the days ahead and know he is safe, free from all pain.
He leaves his love and takes yours...

My heart goes out to you, Kelly, Cade, Mya, and Lauryn. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing Ben with us, his work family. Ben truly was one of the good ones. He simply handed out the smiles and sunshine as he moved through life. I will forever grieve the absence of his light in this world. Although I only knew him for a short time, he left an impression on me that will last my lifetime. I know that when he left us, his spirit was light, and his heart was wide open. Blessings...
