I am so saddened to learn of Ben's passing. I worked with him back in the 90's and just recently tried to reconnect with him. Our careers and lives led us on seperate paths but I always considered him a good friend. He was a little older than myself and had a lot patience for my foolishness. Everyone he worked with considered him a good leader. He was a person who you could count on. He had a great personality with a lot of charisma. I hope time as eased the pain of his loss for his family as he was taken to soon. Please accept my sincere condolences.
