I didn’t know him long,but he was a nice guy and not just saying that. Helped who ever needed it and didn’t complain about it. I will miss him. Be strong Teresa this to will get easier with time
Ben was my world. He was a great husband and so proud when he was able to take care of me. He made sure that I never had to worry about anything. He was a great friend and father to everyone around him. He never missed an opportunity to teach someone or talk about his favorite things. He loved conspiracy stuff and animals and he really really missed the Coast Guard. . I could talk all day about the stories he told me.
