The times they are a-changin’.
This post seems to be older than 14 years—a long time on the internet. It might be outdated.
I was driving back from a day of skiing at Stevens Pass when Darren shared the news:
“Ben Towne passed away today.”
“Dangit.”
That’s really all I have to say right now. There’s no way to express the sadness I feel. Instead, I will (again) share this quote that seems rather applicable:
“Now cracks a noble heart. Good night, sweet prince,
And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest!” (Hamlet Act V, scene ii)

0Dear Friends,
We have just received the sad news that about 2 a.m. this morning our beloved Ben Towne died. Our hearts break with this reality, and our hearts are comforted by being able to claim that same promise for Ben which Jesus gave, “Today, you will be with me in paradise.” Let’s include in our prayers Jeff, Carin, and the entire Towne family and network of friends who are grieving.
Claiming the Promise,
Ray Moore
