I am so sad to hear about the passing of Ben, he and Marsha were the best. I will miss tracking him down at the fair every year, and driving by to see what new things he had done with his yard. Thinking of you all!

I was lucky enough to meet Ben back in the late 1980's when he was in charge of the Fairgrounds Little League and I worked for the Fairgrounds. He was always great to work with and a pleasure to talk with. He will be missed by many. RIP brother.

My deepest condolences to Ben's family. He was the best to work with and will be greatly missed. He was always there when you needed an answer or encouragement with an issue. Ben was one of a kind and so glad I had the privilege of knowing him all the years of the Fair.

I will always remember Ben coming through gate 13 with that big smile on his face with his "hot date" Marsha... I'll miss you Ben because you were always my answer man.
Rest in peace

The Fair will not be the same without Ben, but I take comfort in the in the belief that he has been reunited with his love, Marsha.
As everyone has already stated, he was a great guy who was loved and respected by many. I sure hope that he knew that.

Ben was a one of a kind guy. From the little league days up to the fair last year Ben always put other people before himself. He is united with Marsha again
Until we meet again.

I am saddened by Ben's Passing. I worked the state fair last yr and Ben would randomly pick me up in the golf cart when I was walking to begin my shift or after my shift was done and i was exhausted. He always had a few words of encouragement and made my day better. He will be missed by all.
