I am so sorry to hear of Benjamin's passing. We met at the UUB a few years back and played music for the services. It was so nice to connect with another NCSA/NC native in Basel and to make music together. All best wishes,

Dear Family and Friends,
I was shocked to see Benjamin's notice in the paper. He performed flawlessly at Bok Tower Gardens on several occasions and at First United Methodist. I've enjoyed listening to his recordings ever since. He was a fine role model for his students.
My heart goes out to his lovely and talented wife and daughters.
With deepest sympathy,
Jeff
