Three years today.

Hard to believe how much time has passed. I would love to hear how Charlotte is doing and how Parker is growing up. There is rarely a week that goes by that I don't think about Ben. Being on the boards and participating in discussions with him truly seems like a blessing after his passing. He was an absolutely stand up guy.

He was truly the corner stone for local car meets. It will never be like those days in early 2005 again. Those are some great memories for me and probably many others. Its just not something that can ever be replaced or replicated.

I hope everyone is doing well that has been effected by this. I really really miss him and what he brought to the community and the inspiration I got from him to make those silly car videos that I liked to make.

I wasn't a member here at the time, but I recall watching in unfold here, and on pelican over the course of those first hours/days... horrific.

It had a profound impact on me personally. For a lot of reasons. I didn't know Ben, but I think of this event often.

RIP Ben.

Best to your family-

Adam

Just to clarify Corey wasn't "some random guy" he was a friend of Bens and a very successful young man.
