I will always remember Ben with a smile. I am always going to see him when I walk into the break room in the office and see him having his "pre-lunch". He is going to be missed but certainly will not be forgotten.
It's hard to believe that someone as happy, loving and friendly as Ben could be gone from this world so soon. I worked with Ben closely for most of my time at M&M, and cannot remember him ever being angry or upset. He always had a kind word or a funny joke for anyone. His laugh was infectious. My heartfelt love and support go out to Beth, Kristen, and the entire Hawkins family. My heart hurts so much for you right now. I look forward to celebrating Ben this weekend.
Ben was such a nice, easygoing guy. I really enjoyed working with him. When I first started working with him, he went out of his way to provide valuable advice and help. He will be missed.
I had the great pleasure to work side by side with Ben for many years. His smile was contagious & his fun loving spirit was everlasting. I affectionately nicknamed him "Big Money Ben," because he helped settle cases for exceptional values.
I will always remember the joy he expressed after beating me in many of our firm's bowling outings. He may have even done a victory dance :) Those were some of the best memories!
In addition to work, we both loved barbecue, music & guitars & often discussed them. I can't express how much i miss & love him!! Rest in peace Ben.
Love,

Ben had such an infectious sense of humor. He always made me laugh and smile when I saw him. Even when he was having a bad day. My heart hurts that he is gone.
