I can't believe what I am reading. It is truly such a sad day for both families. Ben was such a classy guy. I enjoyed all of his posts, and many times look forward to his great stories of his cars. He answered all of my questions and was very polite and friendly even if some of my questions were stupid. Such a great loss for all of us.

May God be with both the families now, and forever. Amen.
