Ben Woolf: Small Guy, Big Heart

Some memories from a few of his friends and compatriots

By Ben Woolf Remembered

February 24^th, 2015

Our time with Ben Woolf in Hollywood, Calif.

We are just a few of the many friends of Ben Woolf, a talented actor and preschool teacher and a great friend. We all count ourselves very lucky to have spent so much time with him and are crushed to have learned today that we will no longer be hanging out around this great city with such a talented and funny guy.

Ben had a great love for animals, children, and laughter, and his memorial fund, managed by his family, will go towards charities that support these great aspects of life. We are praying for his family and trying to keep ourselves from crying by focusing on all the good times we had.

We all started sharing photos we had taken over the years a few hours after learning Ben was no longer with us. As we laughed and reminisced, we felt that others may enjoy them as well. Here are a few of our favorite selections (you can also download them here). If you have photos or stories of your own about Ben, please share them with rememberingbenwoolf@gmail.com or post them to Facebook with the mention tag @Ben Woolf. We hope you’ll enjoy this glimpse at Ben, as we knew him:
