Colleagues.

I have some bad news.

As some of you will know, young Ben has been ill for some time.

I have to tell that you all that yesterday evening (6th) I received an e-mail informing me that Ben passed away while undergoing surgery last Sunday.

Ben would have been 16 on the 15th of next month.

I am sure you will join me in sending our deepest condolences to Ben's family and friends.

Thank you.

GA

Grey Area, may I ask how he passed away?

A friend of mine passed away too last week this day. She was born on the same day as me. :(

RIP Ben

I'm really shocked to hear this very sad news.

:(

Ben will be missed at many aviation forums, as well as here on Key Pub. Forum. Although I did not know him all that well, and had never met him in person it is still very sad. He seemed a really nice guy.

He had so much ahead of him, such a bright and promising future and yet he only got to live a small part of it.

RIP Ben.

Of course my sincere condolences go to his family and friends, who must be going through a difficult time.

Regards,

Joe

Such sad news.
My deepest, most heartfelt sympathies to Ben's family.

It is such a tragedy when any life is cut short, let alone one so young and full of dreams and potential.
I am truely devastated by Ben's passing, having fondly read about his plans during his stay here on the forums.

One thing is for sure, a sad event such as this realy does put things into perspective. So I'm sweeping the old me aside and turning over a new leaf.

Tail winds to ya Ben.

...Oh, and Steve, give him a good strong hug and show him around the new world.
