What a remarkable human being! His sense of goodness and compassion led many to very special spirtual destinations. I grieve his passing and share the loss with his family and fellow Carmelites.

What a great guy! Fr. Ben kept us all in line back in '63 but also had a genuine love for us and was a spiritual influence for which I will be forever grateful! He was loved by many and will certainly be missed, but we have some great memories!

This is so sad. Fr. Ben was a very new priest when I started serving his Masses at St. Kilian's. Later, he was one of my teachers at Carmel. Always fun, approachable, and full of grace. Ben, you were one of the great ones! Pray for us....

Ben is a very special person, priest, Carmelite and friend. Death may end a life, but not a relationship. God bless you, Ben.
Pray for us! Jack
