Stoic yet always kind , accommodating like no one else will ever be there !!

You could not engage him often , he was always busy , whenever you did , it was always a pleasurable moment !!

We'll miss you Ben. You took good care of Fat Cat, and all us regulars.

Yes.. viewing will be on Sunday after next, and burial Monday after next. I’m trying to arrange a memorial and a fundraising at fat cat. I got the permission from the family, and now I need it from the bosses who will meet today. Keep you posted. The church will be Bens childhood church in Chinatown. He’s likely to be buried in cypress hill cemetery. Not really sure, I hear the family has a plot of land there.

I still can’t believe this. Ben was such an awesome guy. I’m positive foosball would not be where it is without him and Fat Cats supports.

You will be missed.
