We met Ben and Vicki under unique circumstances. We bonded over the Buckeye candy recipe. Over time we became great friends and had the opportunity to travel together and visit each other's homes. Ben, we will miss you! Thank you for your friendship. We will treasure it always. Vicki, we are so sorry for your loss. Our hearts are with you and your family. Love, Rick and Gayle

Ben and I first met going through Air Base Ground Defense Course Camp Bullis, TX, in 1975. We stayed in contact through phone calls until we reunited again at Howard AFB, Panama. You will be missed Br.
