RIP Ben.

A great man has left this world. It was an honor to know him since our days in Congo, when Virginia was the science teacher at The American High School of Kinshasa, and Ben was working at the Embassy. My parents valued their friendship. They have been gracious to me and my family during all these years, whether it be at home in Kinshasa, in Virginia, or on Long Island in Maine. Our sincere condolences to Virginia and the family at this time.

We will dearly miss Uncle Ben
As my father, Don, was fond of saying
"a gentleman and a scholar"
and I may add , a lover of Long Island and his family

Dear Virginia and Family,I find it hard to imagine a Long Island summer without seeing Ben on a bicycle or with a tennis racket in his hand. You have our deepest sympathies. Your former island neighbors, Marion and Bill Ulmer.
