I became good friends with Benny in Philly back in 90's. He always looked dapper in his collarless suit jackets
and had his hair-cut every 5 days. He had me on his TV commercials. We enjoyed Philly/So. Jersey nitelife. He was a walking moving party guy. King of South Street driving his white Rolls Royce. Miss ya Ben. Bob Friel...

May you rest in peace Ben. Even though we never got to meet, I'm thankful for our one telephone conversation, you seem like quite a character. God rest your soul.

As a young teenager, and fellow "Colecktion" Band Member with son Michael, I will always remember Mr. Krass for his helpful support in clothing all of the members of the Band in the most stylish fashion. We looked great, and he was due the credit...and in some respects still is!
We send our most heartfelt condolences to the entire Krass family.

I worked for Ben in the early 1980's
In fact he gave me my first real job. I was the kid from Overbrook Park that Celeste and Fred Weiss used to call "Bressler" even though my name is Breslow. My best memory of Ben was when he gave me a ride home in the winter time and could not understand why the heat in a Rolls did not heat up immediatly like turning on a hair dryer. I never forgot that. Rest in Peace Ben and thanks for everything, Bill

I had the unique pleasure of being Mr. Krass' nurse. I will truly miss him. He was truly a bright spot in my day. I am blessed to have had the opportunity to care for him, and am blessed to have gotten the chance to know an extraordinary family. Many blessings to you all.
