I enjoyed working with Ben when he was at Pupil Services in Kent
County and I was at Kent County High School. He always cared about doing his best to serve the students and families.

Condolences. May you have faith in Jesus' words found at John 6:44.

With heartfelt sympathy for your great loss. May the God who "binds up the brokenhearted" and "comforts all who mourn" sustain your family during this challenging time. (Isaiah 61:1,2)

Memories are so numerous---hilarious, sentimental, some even ridiculous; but too many to recall in such small space. Ben was a MEMORABLE person! From his beginning as a resource teacher to his 10-year stint as our principal, we at WES found a caring, empa-
thetic colleague who was not only flexible but also encouraged creativity. His laughter echoing in the hallways always made us smile. The "guy with the tie" will be sorely missed, but we are blessed for having known him.
