Ellen, we send you and your family our deepest condolences. I met Ben at Walter's home, as Walter had invited me to be part of his minyan when he lost his mother. I remember that when I met your husband, I said, "Oh, your Ellen's husband!" and he laughed, remarking on how the roles had reversed when, so often, you were "Ben's wife." We will keep you in our prayers.

Mrs. Richman,
I am so sorry on the loss of Dr. Richman. What wonderful neighbors you both were all those years ago on Meadowood. Fond memories of dog sitting for you (Dingo, if I am correct) and the multiple times my Dad would call Dr. Richman over for some random broken finger I may have gotten. My parents and I send our condolences to you and your entire family. All the best during this difficult time.
Sincerely,
Courtney Nicolai
I have so many fond memories of Dr. Ben, I don't know where to begin. The photo I posted was from Daniel's Bar Mitzvah in 2017. I love Ben's smile and his love of closeness and silliness (like Joanne)! I don't have a photo of it, but I really loved and admired his Father-Daughter dance with newly-wed Joanne - just wow. Growing up, Ben's kindness meant the world to me. I remember staying over at the Richmans' home many, many nights, even for weeks at a time. I always received a smile, kindness, generosity, and thoughtfulness from Dr. Ben, as well as from the whole family (including cousins, aunts, uncles, and grands). They are a truly special family, and one that I feel honored to know.
When we went on our Alaska cruise, one evening the dinner menu featured lobster tails. Ben and everyone else at our table must have had at least 3 or 4 lobster tails and then we all laughed about it!
