I'm fairly new to this forum and only knew him through his post. My condolences go out to his friends and family. RIP-Ben:(
 
I don't know what to say, I thought I was having a bad day. How wrong I was. Hearing this puts things in perspective in a very painful way.

Over the years, I've seen too many people I know involved in mishaps, it never gets any easier.

I am truly grateful for the chance to have meet all of you that made it to Vegas this week. Ben was a fantastic voice here, I enjoyed everything he wrote.

Rip Ben

I have no clue what happen. It is up on liveatc and he said he had the field made.

yeah I just listened to it. He said he had to lose some altitude (guess he was going to over shoot?) then he said he lost too much and that was the last thing he said.

So hard to listen to.

Condolences to his family. :(
 
I'm speechless; been buried in work the past few weeks and just happened to go over here and see what was going on. Like many of us, I never got to meet him, but enjoyed reading his posts.
RIP Ben, we'll miss you, your knowledge and your sense of humor.....

Doug or other mod/organizer types: plans for a fund for his family yet?

Absolutely.

I'm just waiting to see there's anything established that we can participate in or just take the reigns myself and get it going.

I've been under the weather so I haven't done a lot on the issue yet. :(
 
I know his avatar still says Old Skool but it should say something in his honor.

I cant stop looking at his 'about me' page.
 
We've set up a Ben Hill Memorial Fund at Wells Fargo Bank. For anyone who Ben gave his service, time and energy too, (Basically anyone who knew him) and has means to do so, Please give liberally to help his beautiful wife Ginny and his 2 adorable little girls in their time of need. You can stop by any Wells Fargo Bank and donate to the "Benjamin Hill Memorial Fund". Anything helps. Please spread the word.

It might be a few days until the name is registered in their database, so if you have any issues feel free to contact me and I will give you the account number.

I've emailed this individual to get the account number to put it up on here for everyone, but for those who wish to donate, this is the place to start

Here's a picture of his little girls:

Thanks Em. His girls are absolutely beautiful. Hard to type this when I cant see the keyboard due to watery eyes. :(
