Dearest Ben,How does one possibly begin to sum up what a truly amazing person you were. So many wonderful memories and only one regret since I met you all those years ago. We were both travelling the world however we never seemed to be on the same side. Please forgive me for loosing touch. It is so very easy to do but one I wish I hadn’t with you. What a package ….you had it all. That infectious laugh, the smile, the charm, the sincerity and that unbelievable zest for life.I have played over and over in my mind the wonderful times we and others shared together. The days at the beach, the Sunday afternoon drives just for something to do, the conversations, the get togethers and some of the other things that all you boys know what I am talking about however I refuse to mention. I do also have some memories of the tough times that all of us at some time or another endured. You were always the first to arrive and always the last to leave. A true friend and something that is so very rare to come by in this world.I will cherish these memories forever.Thank you for giving me the honour of being your friend.My sincerest condolences to all of Ben’s family and friends.Love to you alwaysMel
