I worked with Ben many years ago, and he was always the epitome of a gentleman. He was a bright, compassionate person. He had a great thirst for knowledge, and could share so much information about Eastern Europe. He always had your back, and was a great guy. We lost a great man now.

The Murphy family is in my heart today. My most hearfelt sympathies go out to you at this time. Even the advance knowledge that this time is coming can do little to ease such a loss. We grieve the death of your loved one, and the loss of all he may have been, may have experienced, may have loved, and may have taught us. Though I didnt know him, knowing and loving his brother, Jess is enough to make me feel so terribly for this loss. He was surely loved in this life. The Tao teaches us that death merely transforms us. May his troubles be transformed into the energy of peace.
