Donna,

How sad Sandy and I are to learn of Ben's passing. We had not seen you guys at RUMC for a while and I guess I should have called you. I just learned about Ben yesterday in conversation with Sandy Jackson. Ben was one of the "good guys" and I will miss his friendship and warm personality.

with sincere sympathy, Paul Workmaster
