Unhappy Sad loss.

I spoke to Ben on wednesday morning. I was shocked when I found out friday morning of what happen.
Ben's boat was my pet project back in 1990 when I built it for Frank Arnold.
He will be missed amoung the performance boating community.

My prayers are with his family.

We met Ben briefly at Hammond a few summers ago. Real nice guy. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.
