Ben Harper
We lost a remarkable member of the EOC of Suffolk family and the Bellport community.
Ben Harperโs legacy lives on in the youth he empowered, the neighbors he uplifted, and the countless people who were fortunate enough to call him a friend. He showed us what it means to lead with compassion, integrity, and service. Ben was a mentor, a leader, and a steady source of encouragement. He will be greatly missed.
