If there was fun to be had, a joke to be told, a game to be played, a trip to be taken, a tennis ball to hit, a bike to ride, a song to dance to or a brownie to be eaten, Ben was front and center. He lived a long and happy life, always seeing the best side of everyone and everything. He will be missed by friends and family in Baltimore, Aventura, Delray, Atlantic City, Forte dei Marmi and beyond. Services are private. Please omit flowers.
