In August of this year we received a beautifully handwritten card from Ben (yes Palmer style) asking us for a visit saying he’d “stocked up on Malbec” for us. This was a favorite go-to wine on our frequent family trips over the years. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to Spokane in time, but cherish our memories of this truly unique man.

Ben was the best Santa for my son's cub scout group, with his deep "ho ho ho", a wonderful second "father" to my son, and dear friend. Hope you are enjoying some cognac and a good cigar to celebrate a life well lived. Godspeed.

Thank you for your service to our country. Rest In Peace.

Ben was a great mentor and friend to me when I was at Murphey Favre as a new Broker. I enjoyed his lunch prepared at his home for all of us "girls" , which was delicious! He told us that he had made the table and chairs. They looked beautiful too. Ben lived a good long life!
