May God bless you Mr. and Mrs. Mulligan, your family, Heather and all the doggies. No one knows Ben like you all did but I definitely know that he was a great lovable guy who I shared many wonderful times with. He was a great "uncle" to my daughter Kennedy. Ben helped my wife Rebecca through the tough times while I was going through my double lung transplant. His help was irreplaceable. Ben and I had many great times and laughs together and knowing him as my friend was and is such a great gift from God.
