Although my heart is broken, words still easily flow through in how I feel about Ben. I began volunteering with Ben and Carol at Brother's Keeper Thrift Store in Ocala, FL in early 2008. Having just moved from New York, it was comforting to meet such a warm and inviting couple who understood where I was from and welcomed me with open arms. Although I was only able to volunteer once a week, I looked forward to volunteering with them and the others after a long work week. Ben always greeted the other volunteers and the customers with a smile. I witnessed how he was always giving, compassionate and just a beautiful soul to those he met and in improving the lives of others. I know his legacy of giving to others will forever stay with me and make me a better person. I think what I will miss most are the pants he would sometimes wear that were colorful and geometric. God Bless you Ben and thank you for being a Blessing in my life. We love you and will miss you. Condolences to the entire family..
