So sorry to learn of his passing. I only met him a few times, but he was full of fun and good will. And he had interesting stories to tell me of the history of Calico Rock and the River View Hotel.

Ben and his parents we great friends of my parents. I grew up knowing Reba and Zane and BennyOwen as household names. This town had many close families in the mid 40's to the 50's. I think mother, Melba Garner, then living in apt above their residence, helped with Ben as a baby. I say all of this in much sadness at the loss of Ben. He is the last of that close family tie that now fills my memory. Many condolences to the family. God bless you all.â¤
