Read MoreThe Hebron Harvest Fair just won't be the same without you, Ben, though I know you, Barbara and my parents will all be watching over us as we try to fill their shoes at the Antique Farm Display. I'm so glad I have the DVD of his tour of the building so I can bone up on things before the fair.

To Ben's family
I was so saddened to hear about Ben's passing. He truly was one of my favorite people and I feel so blessed that I had the pleasure to get to know him. Every year coming to sit with me at the fair as Barbara and John set up their "crafts" I always looked forward to Tuesday and Wednesday of the fair for that reason. It won't be the same with out him there.
My deepest sympathies to all of you.

To Barbara and John, I am sorry to hear of Ben's passing. When I came to work at Hilltop Marine, Ben was a kind and gentle mentor. I will always remember his smiling face and warm friendly guidance as I learned to be a mechanic. He was truly a great guy and he will be missed by many who had the great fortune to know him. Both of you and Ben will be in my thoughts and prayers. Sincerely, Morgan

To Mr. Staba's family. I will remember him with fondness for our conversations over the years. I last saw him at a dinner held at the Russell Mercer Senior Center fairly recently. As always, he was spirited and engaging. I still remember when I was the Treasurer of the Hebron Republican Town Committee in the '80s, and a donation check came in from Ben. When people go to the polls, they expect to have a choice put up by the political parties, but so few actually send a check of support. ...
