My Heartfelt expressions to Ben & his Daughters RYLEE & TAYLEE, Mom Helen, Step-Dad Scott, Brother Bart & Sister Barbara & Grandpa Dan!
Ben & I became close when our parents married and joined our families together in the early 80s. In 3 short years we experience a bond that weathered a loss of some 20 years due to rough journeys that proved we were true survivors! Our reconnect was so sweet and energizing! We were now both father's and love being Dads! Wanting so badly to see each other, Ben was traveling to see me in San Diego and he never made it. I quickly found out he was OK and would try again another time! Periodically, the last 7 years we would talk, text, message & follow each other on Facebook! His wild sense of humor was always front facing! My favorite thing about him was his way of laughing even the most difficult situations! What I will never forget is the ketchup incident & the way he loved to talk about his girls. So much more can be said, but will keep it close to my heart! I Love You Ben, My Dear Brother! See you in Paradise!
