Please know you have my deepest sympathy. Ben was in my Metals & Fibers class at Anthony Wayne High School. It was a pleasure having him in class. Ben was such a creative and skilled art student. I remember he even sold a piece of his jewelry to another art teacher. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.

Jr. and Family, I am so sorry for the loss of Ben. I remember staying at the house when I was younger and Ben bringing me The Three Caballeros to watch with him. My most recent memory is that where he stopped by Linda's while we were visiting. She said,"This is my Ben. My favorite." Take peace in knowing that she and others were waiting at the Gates of Heaven for him. I am a true believer of dreams and last night I dreamed my grandmother Goya was with St. Peter but she wouldn't let me talk to him because he was busy writing names. It has rained so hard because the Heavens opened up for a beautiful young man. My parents and my family send our love to you.
