I met Ben at Mountain Diabetes Research center as a research study participant. He was one of my favorite study coordinators. He had a great personality, just a genuinely nice guy.
Family, please know that alot of people are heartbroken today along with you.

I had the pleasure of meeting Ben once in his office at Vanderbilt. His kindness and sincerity radiated the room. I left feeling as though I had known him for years. Only one meeting, but I will always remember Ben Lane.
