Ben, I feel like I know you even though I was an infant when you died. I am amazed at the love that the people in the community still have for you even after all this time. I have gotten to know your daughters and they are wonderful women. You would be proud. Your photo and story will now hang in the police department for all to see. Thank you for your service and integrity. It meant something to the community. I hope that I will one day get to meet you. God Bless you, Ben and thank you.
