BENJAMIN CRANE

We'll not see his like again. . . .

In thanks for all his gifts, in particular for the Brooklyn Youth Chorus

I often worked late into the night with Ben and then slept a few hours in his Brooklyn Heights home. Sally and Ben were always warm and gracious, and Sally not only always had breakfast ready in the morning but even kept a toothbrush for me in one of the bathrooms. May they both rest in peace.

Ben taught us all how to live a better life: stay curious, share easily, be positive and love hard. We thank him for these lessons and will miss him very much, all our love, Rosie and Bret LeBreton

I´m sorry for yours and our loss.

I am so sorry for the family´s loss. Ben lived a life that was full of love, and his legacy will live on as we remember that life well lived.

Ben was the first partner I worked for at Cravath. He was a superb lawyer, teacher, and gentleman. He facilitated getting the Paris assignment which was so wonderful. I enjoyed dinners with Ben and Sally at their beautiful home in Brooklyn Heights and in NTC.

Your parents were both great. I knew them from Cravath.

Very sad to learn this news. I am probably the last foreign associate Ben took on in his last year back in 1993. In the interview with younger partners I was told that I had a "very powerful friend" with Ben as he put in a good word for me. I will never forget his kindness, wit and humor.
