Good neighbor.

I went to high school with Ben and we continued our friendship after. He was a kind caring friend who always made me laugh. He had a light in him that is rare to find in people. He will be deeply missed and I will always remember the deep care he had for the people in his life. I will always remember you Ben. You were an amazing person and an ever more amazing friend.
