That was so true to his nature. He was a real classic southern gentleman. He was actually a man of unexpected depth. I will miss him so much.

Oh damn, that really hits home. My wife and I always enjoyed socializing with Ben at those final CIs and the Barn Raisings. To this day she still comments on the “chess pie” he introduced her to
