Not sure what to say?

So many fond memories of my Uncle Ben, who was always a character in the best of ways, and had such a passion for life and so many different interests...I know how much he loved the beautiful Berkshires, and the memories which he created there with his family. May his memory always be a blessing...

It was a long 10 years since Ben passed away. But he lives in our hearts and our memories. We loved Ben deeply. We miss you, Ben!

Hard to believe it´s 10 years since Ben´s passing but his warmth, great love and passion for the world and people feels as alive today as when he passed. He will live forever in my heart and soul. Miss you, Ben

Miss you, Dad.

Uncle Ben always asked questions about the details of our lives, which meant that he was really interested in us as people. He was a real "people person." He was also an "animal person," adopting many pets, not only cats and dogs, but even a sheep, which was so much fun when we came upstate to visit and play with our cousins...he had a real love of life and is very much missed.

I remember Ben, always with fondness and great respect. He was a gift to us all His memory be for a blessing.

I loved reading the notes from last year, and re-living the memories. Thank you, everyone.

Miss you, Dad.

I remember Uncle Ben tying a rope to the back of the snowmobile so that we could ski in the field in front of the house and be pulled back up to the top again. It was great fun!
