Dear Hall Family,
I'm so sorry to hear about the passing of Ben. We spent many years of school together at St. Michaels and St. Thomas. We lost touch after high school, but kept up with each other through social media and watched each other's families grow. I thoroughly enjoyed his posts about chili and seeing updates on his beautiful family. Always made my smile. My favorite memories of Ben were in the various sporting teams we played on. I believe we were on almost 20 teams together. Ben was a great athlete and was an exceptional teammate. He was the calm to my storm. Ben was always so humble, calm, cool and collected. He was an amazing goalie in middle school, had a great jump shot from the free throw line in basketball, and was a great hitter in baseball. He was a cerebral player and was a big part of our teams' successes over that span. He was such a good person, friend and teammate who will be dearly missed. I'll always cherish those times and memories we shared together. Rest in Peace Ben. Love ya!!!! - Zach Barfuss
