Ben moved into The Park at Golf Mill last year and I knew from the start that he and I would become really great friends. He would come into my office everyday at 11:00am for a cup of coffee and a sweetroll - he really loved to "check on us girls" and "make sure we were working"! I will miss his kind words, great sense of humor, and loving smile.
