"What an incredible kid! I sure hope this story never dies. He can be an inspiration for so many others still yet to come into this world who are unfortunate enough to not have the gift of sight. Perhaps Ben has taught us that sight isn't really all that great a gift. Perhaps it is more of a crutch that simply makes life easier for us. Either way, this young man has left an inspiring legacy, and as a parent myself, I hope my children can be such an inspiration for others." - William C.

"Ben was truly an inspiration to the world. The world was lucky to have him and his unique talents and give us all hope and happiness. Thank you Ben." - Kristin
