I was fresh out of Ultrasound School when I started shadowing at John & Ben's Office. I will never forget when Ben called me & offered me a job. It was the day after Thanksgiving & I was so excited. I am forever grateful that he took a chance on me & I learned so much from him & John. He was always nice to me & treated me like I was part of their work family. He never left me out of any gathering & would call me and say "Q, meet me here at this time". Lol. I am sadden to hear of his passing and I send my condolences to the family. R.I.P.
