    Ben will be sorely missed – I will always remember his smiling face and cheerful attitude when he would stop by just for a visit at Placer Title. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

    Ben is a Lake Tahoe icon. As good hearted a man as we have ever met. He gave us all a lesson on volunteerism. His family can be very proud of him. Our heartfelt condolences to all of his family.
