Hello, I would like to start out by saying how deeply saddend I and my fellow employees are by this tradgedy. I had the pleasure of meeting Ben recently at my hotel, im one of the front desk clerks, a few employees and I spoke to him daily and we were all very sad to hear about what had happened. Though we didnt know Ben for very long we all felt he was kind, generous, and had a big heart, it wasn't hard to tell that Ben was a great person. We would like to express to all of Bens loved ones how deeply sorry we are for your loss, we send our thoughts and prayers...
Rest peacefully in heaven Benjamin Bashore.
Thank you for taking the time out to read this.
Sincerely
