I had met Ben when he came to work for Bill, his son. Ben helped us in the business when we needed some accounting help. Ben always treated me with respect and was very helpful in what he did for us.
I got to know Ben over time and found that he loved his family dearly and always had a zest for life.
I could only hope that I could be as active as he was when I reached my 90's.
I know Ben will be missed dearly.
