I with heartfelt condolence. Junior is my cousin, uncle Buell's son. I was just thinking about him n source his name found out about his transition. It's really a sad for me. I remember the fun times we had in St .Croix when he visited me. Then we went to Antigua to visit our grand mother. I lost contact with him. To his loving wife Maria, please email me when you read this .

It is a great loss that the family suffered when you left unexpectedly. We didn’t get a chance to reunite in one of our family get together. Just letting us know life is not to be taken for granted. You will be greatly missed. Until we meet again cousin, rest in heavenly peace.

Big Ben, you were the most cool, nice, helpful, kind, happy, a true gentleman and respectful person that I have ever met. I can't thank you enough for everything you did for me at work, specially during firearms training. I will never forget our chats and jokes. My "Big Teddy Bear," I love you and will miss you. Rest easy, my dear friend.

Big Ben, Since day one at FDC you have been nothing but nice, caring and welcoming. I thank you for that! I loved talking about retirement and fishing with you. It was always great to see your smiling face come into my office (even if it was just to grab some treats out of the candy jar). Thank you for the laughs and the hugs. They will truly be missed!

My dear friend, this is not goodbye, this is see you later. We will meet again. God gave us memory to never forget who we love, the love of Pilar, your family and friends is the flame that keeps your memory alive. My dear Ben, you left this world and will continue to live in our hearts and memories. Death is part of life and we must learn to cope with it.

It was truly an honor to work together with this man. One of the few people that I can say was always the same, never changed, he called like he saw it was whether you agreed or disagreed. Ben was going to let you know or pull to the side and tell you what he thought. In the moment of critical situations he never missed a step, he quarterbacked the play to an exact science. We go to work in environment unlike any other, the things we get used to are at times beyond belief. He seemed to have the right balance in his life and the job. I never heard a negative word spoken about this man, his ethics, fairness and loyalty were impeccable. I often find myself thinking how would Ben handle this situation, that ‘s the impact he had on me and I am sure on many others. May God Bless him and his family and keep them in his glory.

I remember the first time I met Buell, it was at our house when my wife and I were leading a crown financial class. We hit it off right away, Maria and Buell were one of those couples you couldn’t help but love. Every Wednesday night for many years I would look forward to seeing my friend at Church. I would make him give me a hug, it must have looked hilarious as I am only 5’8” and Buell was this towering gentle giant of a man. He was always kind and generous to my family. Anyone who treats my family like his family is a very special person. I will miss you my dear friend. I will never forget your funny stories and your great sense of humor.
