I want to extend my sympathy and support to the family and friends of Ben. He will be missed by all of us. He made a very special commitment of his adult life to the Missouri State University College of Agriculture and its students. I always appreciated his commitment to education which was consistently in the best interest of students. I thanked Ben many times for his generous sharing his soils laboratory and equipment with me when I taught Plant Physiology in Karl's Hall for a number of years. I know he will have a special place in God's heavenly kingdom. Frank Einhellig

Allyson and Alicia, your father was a quiet, steady presence who cared about those around him, and was a generous caretaker of the earth. Marcia and I will always remember your parents as the best Barcliff neighbors and best friends we could ever have! We will keep you and your families in our prayers through this difficult time.
