I lived on the same street growing up and I remember being friends with Butch and Alice when we were in elementary school. I was sad to hear of his passing. Prayers for his mother, sister Alice, children and grandchildren for comfort.

It was an honor and a privilege to know Ben . The only thing that exceeded his positive energy was his incredible sense of humor .
The Second Amendment lost a fantastic friend

Butch was my next door neighbor growing up in Warrington, PA. I just recently had connected on Facebook with him through a mutual neighbor and friend around my birthday last February after 40 some years!! I am saddened to hear of his passing, and pray for his Mother and Alice, children, grandchildren, and all who knew him and loved him that they will be at peace.
