We were in a Men's Group together. Played basketball together.
Shared our love of acting and Judaism and Israel together.
MAY HIS MEMORY BE A BLESSING!!!

Ben and I were acting buddies at Circle in the Square Theater School on Broadway in the early seventies and kept in touch til his end. How odd someone so large, so strong, so fun and funny could pass away so young, so alive. His struggle with cancer still haunts me, how any of us here today could be gone tomorrow. Our show biz friends in common included Maureen Stapleton, Alan Rosenburg, Bob Picardo, Teresa Wright, Paul Libin, Mary Levinstein, Bill Evans and Terry O'Quinn, all surely sorry he's gone. Big Ben will be in our thoughts from now on.

Went to high school with Ben. (The llama) Why, I do not know! I moved on to a private school, but remember Ben enough to look him up! I wish I met him again to talk about old times. He was a funny guy and we had some great memories. Rest in Peace "Llama"!

I met Ben while sitting next to him having chemo & we hit it off immediately. I would fly to L.A. from Sac weekly sporting my S.F. Giants hat which brought a smile to his face. I figured he was a Dodger fan...boy was I wrong as he started blowing my mind with his love of the Giants going back to his New York roots. He was such an awesome guy full of life and a deep love for his wife Katherine & family. I kept texting over & over & left a message on his phone when Katherine informed me Ben had passed. I wept for this amazing gentleman I'd only known for a year. May God rest your beloved soul and Bless your Family. Until we meet again my friend.

Ben was a friend of mine and I will deeply miss his compassion, humor, creativity and humanity. I will miss our lunches at Factors Deli, when Ben came into LA from France telling me about his adventures. He was quick to ask me about my family, which I always appreciated. What ever the topic, Ben found a way to find the humor in life. Was there anyone cooler? Ben loved classic Rock 'n Roll and we had great times talking about the Beatles, the Stones, the Beach Boys, etc. Ben's passing is a sad loss to anyone who had the great fortune to know him. My deepest sympathies to his family and loved ones. Love to all.
