My condolences to your family. I was a big fan beginning with his role on The Doctors. I was fortuante enough to meet Ben and have my picture taken with him. Ironically, I've been searching for many months to find current info - I'm grateful I have a chance to tell you how much I thought of Ben and how much he'll be missed.
Sincerely,
Brenda
