Man this was a kick in the balls when I first heard about it earlier today.
I first met Ben and his wife several years ago at the north TX Irish festival. We hung out for the afternoon listening to live music and having some beverages. Then in 2021 I got him licensed under my PI company and he did quite a bit of work for me for a year or so. He was a smart dude. Hard worker. Always talked about his wife. He really loved her.

I always reread the story with a grin when it is bumped. Never imagined it would be for the reason it was this time.

I had to go a back and read the original post as I have done many times.

Here! Remember when this story first came, sad he is gone.

RIP, Ben.

Met him many years ago while in BCS via a mutual friend. He was a good guy the and continued to be right up until our last interaction a few months ago. I'm sorry hear of this loss.

Here. Not what I was expecting when I clicked this thread. I recently shared this thread with a young Aggie friend who was looking for a used truck toolbox.

Same for me as well

TexAgs needs to print stickers to put on toolboxes that say "Certified by Big Ben."

Dang! I didn't know Ben but the toolbox story is one of the things that makes TexAgs great.

Way too young. RIP Ben!
