BENJAMIN THOMAS SHARP II

Ben was the first person I ever worked for at Sharpgraphics. So thankful that I was able to work for someone so kind and caring. Him and Jerry put up with a lot of grief from us girls. Young and wild at the time, but Ben never gave up on us and was always there to give us another chance. We had some crazy times at halloween and I remember coming to work, everyone wearing customs and sitting in his office doing his work was Ben wearing a pig nose. He caught us all off guard that day.

BEN AND MY LATE HUSBAND, JERRY FRAMPTON, WERE PARTNERS IN THE TYPESETTING INDUSTRY FOR MANY YEARS. AS A RESULT OF THAT FRIENDSHIP, WE SPENT A LOT OF FUN TIMES WITH BEN - SOMETIMES AT A LOVELY RESTAURANT AND SOMETIMES AT HIS PLACE AT THE LAKE OF THE OZARKS. HE ALWAYS SAVED HIS OLIVE FOR ME FROM HIS MARTINI. HE INTRODUCED ME TO A DRINK CALLED BRANDY ALEXANDER, AND I WAS HOOKED! WE HAD MANY FUN DINNERS AT THE SAVOY.

HE WAS A REAL GENTLEMEN AND ALWAYS A PLEASURE TO BE AROUND. NANCY...

Ben was a gentleman and a prince. I feel fortunate to have known him. Ben was a fabulous partner and a joy to work with. I will miss him.
