I have known Ben since 1960 when I was on staff at Farview State Hospital and we kept our close relationship since that time. Ben was a military hero, always a gentleman, a caring, human being and the world has lost one of it's best. May God Bless you and welcome you to everlasting rewards in heaven. We will miss you.
