I am so saddened to learn of Ben's passing. Ben and I worked together at Owens & Minor for many years. He was truly one of my "favorites" on the warehouse team - a loyal, dedicated and trustworthy teammate. BUt, more than that, he was an honest, caring and gentle soul that I am blessed to have known. Thoughts and prayers to you all as you adjust to life without him.
