Faculty, students, staff, and friends observed a period of silent reflection coinciding with services in San Francisco. Ben passed away on the early morning of November 18 of sudden and severe heart failure, leaving behind his wife Anat Caspi, their two year old daughter Aviv Taskar, his mother, father, and sister, and an array of other family members, friends, and colleagues – all of whom will miss him tremendously.
