Ben Harper

We lost a remarkable member of the EOC of Suffolk family and the Bellport community.

Ben Harperโ€™s 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.
