Besides being a wonderful person and family man, Ben's contributions to the court reporting profession are great. As successful as he became, he always had time to help and give advice to those of us just starting out. I will never forget his kindness and great smile.
Thank you, Ben. We will miss you.

Uncle Ben was always smiling, and I loved his "Burt Reynolds" laugh. I always admired how many friends and family surrounded him. Everyone loved to be with him. Christi

There will never be another like him, and he will be missed by so many. As a boss, he was the best I've ever had, and I feel lucky to have had the years I did to learn from him. Our hearts and prayers go out to his family.

Ben was joy - he was life itself! Generous to a fault, kind, funny and irreverent, he was always the life of any gathering. He will be terribly missed by his wife, children, family and his friends. One of his last requests of his family was that he not be cremated with one of his expensive new suits! Hey Ben, let us know how it is up there! Pat & Sam
