BENJAMIN T. ROLFS

I think about Ben every day. Making friends with him made the time we both spent at Spaulding Boston so much better. Ben and I lived next door to each other for 6 weeks there. Spending practically every day together. Getting to know him and his family was the best part of that experience. Its always nice to have someone to hang out with and be there for in situations like that and to share in what each other is going through. His friendly caring personality and great smile is something I will...

Wow.. Please excuse the brevity of this message. I only overlapped with Ben for a few months before I graduated Stanford. But he was such an incredible human. We played tennis together and he was always up for a challenge. My deepest sympathies to the family. SD

I miss you Ben, so thankful for the time we had together. I consider myself blessed to have known you even for such a short time. God has healed you now and you will live forever with Him and in our hearts.

We send you all thoughts of love at this difficult and very sad time.
Ernie and Rosemary Kramer

My heart breaks for you.

Dear Rolfs Family, I cannot express how heavy my heart is, nor begin to imagine how you feel... As a teacher, I see students graduate every year, and I always experience an overwhelming combination of pride and grief. There is an intimacy in the classroom that is hard to explain, but I would liken it to something akin to campers attending an extended summer camp, seeing the same people day in and day out, only to have those relationships severed when the campers go home. I have taught and...

I was so sad to come across Ben's obituary in yesterday's Globe. He sounded like an amazing young man. My condolences to all the family.

To the Rolfs family,
I was very shaken to read of Ben's passing. I remember fondly his gentle demeanor and great attitude when I had the pleasure of having him as a trumpet student during his junior high years. I wish you peace at this very sad time,
