5 years Ben and I so miss your loyalty and friendship and meeting with you at your desk in the back of your stock room showing you shoes and sharing caprese with tomatoes from my garden and fresh basil and fresh mozzarella. We always had fun and I miss you dearly.
Rest in Peace

Such a sad awareness made to me about Ben's passing. From the very beginning in business with his successful stores he was always a loyal friend. I will never forget him and his wife Luisa and other family members he introduced me to. He was an extraordinary family man as well as business man. Thank you Ben for your 30 year friendship. I treasured every second of it. Rest in eternal peace and you and Luisa will always be in my heart. I am so saddened by this news.

Dear Louisa, Our hearts were broken when we heard that Benny had passed. We love you both so dearly, and have wonderful memories of spending time with Benny in Florida. He enjoyed sharing his life stories with us, and showing us all of the new development in Naples - especially the clothing stores. From the first time we met Benny it was as if we had known eachother for a very long time.
We are sending you much love, my dear. Rest Peacefully Benny. We will always remember you and your beautiful smile.
