To the Family of Ben Hawkins,

All of you have my deepest sympathies. I worked with Ben for many years at Goodyear. He was one of the best people I have ever met or worked with.

Ben was , without question, the best man I have ever worked for. He always appeared calm no matter what the problem was. He was more than fair to the men that returned from Viet Nam, because he "got it". Till this day, I never realized he had 2 Purple Hearts! That explains a lot. I pray for peace and grace for your entire family. I KNOW where he is and I'm just jealous he got there before me. Peace
