Ah Ben. you are missed. A more beautiful person has never existed. I learned so much about life from you. Your brilliance, compassion, and tenderness were evident in everything you did. If only there was a moment more to tell you how  much you have meant to me and so many others. Thankyou for gracing us with your presence, even though the time was too short. Rest in peace my friend

I worked as a nurse at Harvard Vanguard in Boston with Ben many years ago when he was starting his career.  Such a lovely gentle man with a great smile and an infectious laugh. He was truly kind to everyone... patients and co-workers. May he RIP  

I was deeply saddened to hear about the loss of Dr. Sapers.  He possessed a beautiful gift of brilliant professionalism combined with A deep caring and compassion that allowed him to connect with his patients in a special way. His life journey was short but his imprint on our lives will last forever.

Heartfelt condolences to Ben's family from an old friend of Ben's who will never forget him.

You were an amazing compassionate mentor, one of the docs at Brown that left a mark on me and made me the physician that I am today. This news saddens me. RIP Dr. Sapers- you will be so missed by the many doctors you helped train.

I was shocked and saddened to hear about Ben. He and I were childhood friends, growing up across the street from each other. We lost touch after elementary school, but I have many happy memories of playing with Ben, and the time we spent together.  Ben was clever, funny, and imaginative. I feel honoured to have known Ben, and will always remember him. My sincere condolences to his family.

I remember Ben vividly from childhood. I was stunned when my parents shared Ben's obituary with me. So young and so much still to offer. Yet already such an impact. Many fragments of fond memories have come bubbling to the surface: neighborhood games, your dog Sammy, AC breaks in summer, fun snowy winters, ribbon candy on the piano at the Christmas party... I echo Geoff's condolences.

Dr. Sapers was a great person and role model to me. He was the program director at Roger Williams for 2 years while I was there and I learned so much from him whether it be how to be a good physician or navigating my personal life. I'll always remember him fondly and I know he made a lasting impact on many other training physicians. RIP Dr. Sapers and my deepest condolences to his family.

I was so sad to learn today about Ben's death. We shared an office at Brown,and worked closely with Mike. Such a smart, hard working and fun , fantastic doctor. I remember how much he loved his children. He was so kind and supportive to me. So so sad. Much too young.

Ben, you brought magic to my heart so many years ago, when days were of the halcyon kind.  You are a part of my fabric, always...with light and love.

I felt like looking up kind, even-keeled Ben Sapers whom I remember fondly from Runkle School. We played as two-kid basketball team in the Shershow driveway, beating the other team by one point; he gave me a high five, though he was the star player - even as he dribbled the ball, he coached me, I was touched at his patience. I am SO sad he has passed away. My love to his loved ones.
