Not sure what to say?

I was so saddened to hear of the death of Mr. Aiken. What great memories I have of your entire family when Mike Sargent lived with ya'll. My prayers are with your family at this time.

I am a retired Eastern Air Lines employee of 38 years. I first met Ben while employed at Roanoke, Va. I echo many of the comments already made about his pilot abilities. I pray that God will bless the family and bring comfort at this time.

Eastern Air Lines L-1011 piloted by Captain Ben Aiken

Our prayers are with the friends family at this time. I did not have the opportunity to meet this great man, "The best pilot that flew with the great Eastern Airlines" but know one of his sons, John who is one of the best Aircraft Maintenance Lead Mechanics for Delta. The sky is the limit and am confident that Ben is soaring above us once again!

As members of the Eastern family, our thoughts are with you all today. What a special man!

Sincerely,
The Murphys
