Tucson, AZ Wednesday, November 11, 2020 I had just sent a note to Ben last month about his dad. We hunted, wrecked cars together and connected again after a 40? years. Imagine today parents that allowed 3 16 year olds go to Denver for a week of Motorcycle School? In a 1951 Ford ! on their own. Missed and 9 days older than me.Jarad Chrisman
Cedar Bluffs, NE Tuesday, November 10, 2020 Ben will be truly missed. I have many great memories spending time at his place learning about computers, but the best times we spent together were sitting around and talking. An amazing guy that was always willing to help out and teach what he knew. A lot of what I learned from Ben when I was younger got me into the career I have today. Thanks Ben! You will be missed but not forgotten.Jim Chrisman
