I think of Ben often. He was our property manager at the Regency at the time of his passing. I was a trustee at the time & he was great & we worked together nicely. Always there when we needed him & on top of everything. He is greatly missed.

To Ben's family and close friends, I am SO sorry to learn of Ben's death. I just found out today 2-24-17. If I had known I would have gone to his funeral. I worked with Ben at Northborough Property Management and I have to say he was funny, kind, pleasant, etc. I really enjoyed working with him.
My thoughts and prayers are with ALL of you. God Bless.

To the Gleason family: I am so very sad to hear of your loss. I worked with Ben and Bridget at Camp Marshall starting back in 2003. Ben was such a talented musician, funny, all around great guy! I can still picture him driving the tractor smiling with his infectious smile and waving! His smile could light up a room!

Over the past few days, I have heard many people's memories of Ben, stories that could never have been about anyone else. Knowing Ben was a trip. I am grateful to have known him.

I was a co-worker of Ben's at NPM and only knew him for two weeks but in that short time grew to like him very much. He was very much loved by his co-workers. The loss is profound. Ben shared his love of history with me and some of his artifacts which I found fascinating. He was always smiling. I can just imagine the depth of the loss for his family and friends. May his soul rest in peace. My thoughts and prayers are with you. God Bless, Mary
