My Dear Friend Ben:.
I just found out today you've left us, likely for greener fields. As your former Hawaii consultant I thought about you and asked my old friend Google to find out where you went after Hawaii. I'll always have a warm spot in my heart for you as a client and friend. Thanks so much for all you did for the Koolauloa Community and Wellness Center!

Uncle Ben,
It brings joyful tears thinking of the many brief times we chatted as I was either riding in the car with Ben, or crashing at his apartment! However, the one of the most joyful moments we shared was when you introduced me to B&B... you told me, :
“nephew, *THIS is a mans drink...’you have it after your meal, & it not only helps digestion, but it doesn’t leave you “stumbling drunk”...you told me it’s ”perfect for business functions”... & now, if I’m ever anywhere business related and they’re serving drinks... I still have a B&B... I love you! I thank God for his presence and peace residing with the family.
Love,
-Corey
