Ben Harroll
We, Ben Harroll and Gloria Poore were lucky to be his 1925 Wilson Avenue neighbors.
Alex and I always said "Hello?" and "How are you?" to each other nearly every day for
the five years (2014 - 2019) that we had the good fortune to be each others neighbors.
I treasure the memory of his smiles and his laughter as we shared each others stories.
Alex was happiest when pulling backwards out of his driveway in his Blue 1987 Olds.
Why not be so happy? I would think, while he seemed to be oblivious to other drivers,
because Alex was on his daily fun trip over to the Senior Center to enjoy being with all
his friends and share what's going on with each other, have some fun and some food.
I'll always remember you Alex and especially how you made me feel... all warm inside.
