Story

"Use your chuffing cheese-box!!"

That was Ben's unique way of saying "think about it, you complete ******* idiot!"

I hope you don't have to think twice about this one...

We lost someone very, very special to all of us on Tuesday October 29. It seems inconceivable that we are even contemplating life without his infectious laugh and razor-sharp wit. His potty mouth, his bear hug. His kindness and selflessness. That uniqueness that made him Ben.

After speaking with his wife, Kasia, she and the family would like to leave Ben a legacy by donating to a charity that was very dear to him: The Smile TrainThis would make him so very happy. And it would help transform the lives of many children. 

Please be generous. Share with anyone you may think would like to contribute. And feel free to leave one of your favourite 'Ben-isms' in the comments boxes. Make us all smile, just like he did.

Thank you so much xxx
