Note from Elisa Tan

In the whirlwind of life, we sometimes cross paths with extraordinary individuals, even if only briefly. Ben was one such person. Our paths intersected at Stink, and though we shared only a few conversations, they left an indelible mark on my heart.

In a moment when I needed guidance, Ben took the time to listen. His sincerity and kindness shone through every word, making people feel seen and valued, no matter how brief the encounter. He reminded me of the power of empathy and the impact we can have on each other's lives.

To this day, I still remember all his advice. I will forever be grateful for our brief but impactful conversations and will carry his wisdom with me always. Thank you, Ben.
