Kathy and Irwin, John and I are absolutely heartbroken. I still remember the first time Ben walked into our house on Niven street. Little red turtleneck sweater and overalls. Cute little smile and dimples...made a beeeline right to the TV. Our thoughts and prayer are with you and the rest of the family. God Bless
