There has been no
activity on any of his bank accounts or credit accounts. The authorities have
not found any tangible evidence of accident or foul play. It is as if he and
his car simply vanished into thin air.
Many theories have been
offered to explain Ben’s disappearance, some
plausible, but most unthinkable, knowing the kind of person Ben was. A number
of concerned strangers to Ben have shared with the family their psychic,
spiritual, or supernatural impressions and experiences regarding Bens
disappearance. All have been appreciated.
The immediate family,
his mother, two sisters, and brother, as well as others of his extended family
and friends, have each, independently, through the manifestations of the Lord’s
tender mercies, received their own peaceful assurance that Ben has passed on to
the other side, that he is well and happy there, and that he is continuing to
be of service to others there as he was while he was with us here in mortality.
We all miss him. We will
always miss him. But while we mourn our loss, we each have a treasure trove of
special and happy memories of Ben. His influence for good, his sense of humor,
his spirituality, wisdom, generosity, Christ-like love, and mischievousness
will ever be remembered by those who knew and loved him.

Today, January 19th, is the one year anniversary of Ben’s disappearance. The family would like to extend a big thank you to all those who attended the memorial service for Ben this past weekend. We also extend our love and appreciation to those who may have been unable to attend, but kept Ben in your thoughts and prayers.
The memorial service was held in Crows Landing last Saturday afternoon. About 400 friends and family of Ben’s from all over the country came together to mourn his disappearance and celebrate his wonderful life. We are appreciative to those who contributed their time and efforts to this occasion. Both the speakers and the music were heartfelt and very inspirational. The family is very grateful for all the expressions of support and comfort that were given by those in attendance. The family enjoyed the time to be together and reminisce about their many wonderful memories of Ben.
We hope to soon have pictures as well as an audio file of the memorial service for those who may be interested. Please keep watching the website and please continue to be on the watch for any signs of Ben or his car!
