Hey Ben. I just found out today you passed away. We had some good memories back in our Baptist Health days talking about Xbox and other silly things. You were a fun guy to work with and one that was good to know. Sleep in peace.

Hey Ben, I'm sorry we lost communication a few years back. You were always an amazing guy, it didn't hurt that we shared the same humor. I'm completely at a loss of words, I hope your next journey brings you the happiness you were searching for. Until we meet again buddy!
