Note from Andy Lindblade

Hello,

My name is Andy and I wanted to say how saddened I was to hear about Ben's passing. I can't say I knew Ben well, but the times, more moments really, I spent with him were wonderful. I met him a few times briefly in New York as he was creative partners with my wife Jen at Ogilvy for a while. Then when he was at WKNY he came out to WK Portland and helped us on a project. He filled the room with his smile, his humor, his ideas, his curiosity, his honesty. I remember that. Please know he made a mark here, even though he was only helping us out for a week or so. In thinking about Ben now, I see his smile, and the energy from his eyes. That is my memory from many years ago. I am very sorry for your loss. And I wish I got to know Ben more.

With my best wishes, Andy.
