Our Ben was a joy to travel with; we have so many fond memories of being aboard the Clippers with him and Roz, especially the recent Panama trip. Whether in their apartment or here at our home, having Ben and Roz in the same space with us was always a special occasion. We will miss his kindness, knowledge of so many things, his sense of humor (sometimes went over our head!) And we will miss getting hugs from gentleman Ben. Our love goes to Roz and the family. We will never forget Ben.

My Uncle Ben was a talented architect, an intellect, and a classical music afficianado. His quick wit and sense of humor was absolutely "spot on", and when he hugged you, there was no question as to how much he loved you.
As you read this,I know that Uncle Ben's "big brother", 'Yudy" ( my dad), and his parents (my Grandma Dora and Grandpa Sidney) are already welcoming him with loving arms.
I love you, Uncle Ben, and will miss you........Reva
