Sad News about OUR ben lj, Ben Keatons.......

I just received a call from Michelle at Cargraphics, and was shocked to hear that our valued 6speedonline member and friend ben lj, passed away today during some track event. Ben made some posts today, and I still can't believe it.

I am a bit out of reality now, and just want to say that our prayers are with your spirit, Ben, and your family. You contributed to our forum for years, and became a member of our family...I deeply am sorry for this loss.

Just dont know what to say..

I'm shocked right now...Ben's wife just phoned me, and I picked up the phone and said "Ben!"...always happy to talk with him, thought it was my buddy calling. It wasn't; she was on the way home from the hospital. I'll write more later. Horrible day, guys...

OMG. I've not been around the GT group long, but have grown to enjoy Ben's posts.

RIP Ben. Best wishes to his family.

Can anyone fill us in on what happened?

Man, I'm kinda new here and never knew him, but I got sick when I read all the info. I know he was a very active member and it's just so sad that things like this happen. My condolences to his family. RIP.

I think you should remove the link out of respect to Ben and his family.

I'm still in a state if disbelief - Ben was extremely gracious and one of my favorite members here. My deepest condolences go out to his family, I simply can't imagine their shock. His presence here will be greatly missed.

R.I.P. fellow 6speed member. Never knew him personally but i have seen his posts, what a great guy. Was he the one that goes to the crystal cove meets and raced that GT750?

May his soul Rest In Peace....
