Dear Mrs. Robertson and family,
I went to St. Pat's High School with Ben. I haven't seen him in over 50 years but my memories of him are still vivid. He was a careing guy and he always kept you laughing. He was a free spirit. May God welcome Ben to His eternal home with open arms.
Sincerely, Dick Wermich
