I realize not everyone agreed with Ben's decision not to use a cane; as you may recall, retinoblastoma took his eyesight at a young age and he relied on echolocation for mobility.  
 
However, it's very sad that his cancer came back and he passed away earlier this week.
 
Not sure if anyone heard... Link attached.
