Note from Mitchell Ratchik

Ben was such a sweet, smart, talented, creative, loving guy – I am beyond heartbroken. The world just got a little dimmer. My deepest condolences to the family.

My memory of Ben was when he was just starting out as a creative asst. workin on his book, sitting in my office brainstorming, loving the craft of writing, and aspiring to be a copywriter one day. He will be sorely missed.
