I too worked at the Brickman hotel during the last few years it was open. It was an absolute honor to work for such a fine person. He was loved and respected by everyone he dealt with. My sincere condolences to the family.

For 22 years my husband, Larry Strickler, worked at the Brickman Hotel as Activities Director. Ben Posner was his boss. For those 22 years and the next 20, Ben remained a close and dear friend to both of us. He ran his hotel with fierce pride, and loved his family and friends the same way. His daughter, Patti's love for her dad and her devotion to his well-being is a testament to the kind of man and father he was. Ben was smart, he was kind, he was a gentleman and he was the personification of the word "mensch."

May Patti, Yossi, JoAnna, Bea and family and friends be comfroted by the memory of this great man.

It is with a great sense of personal loss that marks the passing of this good man. I knew him as a child, as a young adult, as a neighbor, and as a struggling teacher. I can only hope that his family know only naches from this time on.

Ben Posner was a gentleman and a "mench". He was active in his community and was like a father to me. My condolence to his family

Ben Posner was one of the fine men of
Sullivan County. He not only was a successful hotel man, but his contribution to the Fallsburgh School District while a member and chairman of the Board was
limitless.
