Mary there are no words that I can say to take away the sadness you must be feeling. Ben was one of the kindness and gentlest men I have ever come to meet in my life. I never have seen him without a smile and I am sure that was because of all of you. I remember all the stories you told us about his fishing, the shed, his children, his friends and grand kids. He was a wonderful person and he will be sadly missed. May God give you and your family all his strength to get through this difficult time.
