I am so sorry to hear about your loss of Ben. Ben worked for me in Australia and the US. He was one of the most charismatic and fun people to work with. It was always a joy to catch-up with my fellow Kiwi no matter where he was in the world. He will be sadly missed.

I had the privilege of working with Ben a few years back. I always admired his confidence, wit, and intelligence. He was a great teacher who made people feel at ease. Other people have noted how much clients loved him and it's true: We worked on a project for the IRS and they absolutely adored him and had a great time teasing him. He ate it up. Ben will be greatly missed. My condolences to his family.

Ben worked for me for 2 years at Oracle. He was one of the most positive people I ever met in my life. He always had nice things to say about everyone. He had a very gentle heart and everybody loved working with him. We all miss him very much. May god rest his gentle soul and we will always remember him. My deepest sympathies to the family for this incredible loss. May the memories held deep within your heart, help you find strength. God bless.

To Ben's family: I have worked with Ben in 2014 in Toronto (I remember, it was the deep cold Canadian winter and he was wearing only a jacket and was happy and smiling). He amazed the client with his knowledge and his lively personality. A great colleague, who has never feared to share his knowledge with us. We will definitely remember and miss him. I will pray for his soul.

To Ben's Family; I had the pleasure of working with Ben. He was on the State of Ohio Account for quite some time as a Rock Star consultant. The client loved him and I always appreciated his intelligence and humor. I had not talked to him after he left Oracle, however have thought of him from time to time. My heart goes out to all of you.
