Ben became a very good friend of Steve and Sue Wieczorek of Cantonment FL. We shared many good times around the neighborhood and dinners at ou home. We are very sorry for all Ben had to endure. He has earned his wings and we hope to see him again.

Although Ben was only in our lives a short time (the past two years), he made a memorable impression... kind of heart, friendly and extroverted, he always had something good to say... we hope and pray that his last days were not too painful and was able to cope with his condition. We will miss him and wish so much that we could see him one last time... goodbye Mr Ben... have a safe trip.

So sorry to hear about your loss. You know that God and Jesus are in the best position to comfort us when we lose a loved one in death.

To my wonderful friend, You were always there when I needed you most. There is a gaping whole in my heart and soul that you filled.
I will always be grateful to you for everything you did for me. I loved our lunches at the Virginia Diner. Out late night talks about the houses in Florida and the one we were going to buy and fix up together. You worked so hard finding the right one. But we never found it.
I have lost a friend and brother. I will never ever forget you. Ben I love...
