Ben was indeed one of the good ones. I worked for Ben during the 80″s and enjoyed his sense of humor, dedication to work and family. If you worked for Ben, you always knew where you stood with him, and if he said he was going to do something….. He did it. He was a great guy, and I am sorry for your loss.

Well I’m a friend if Nicole Sanderson and she told me that he was a sweet and cool man and she cares for him do much that she called me and cryed and I don’t know him but he sounds like a good man
I have known Ben since he came aboard NRL in 1978. We later became NMI, better known as Northern Medical Imaging. Ben hired on as an Ultrasonographer and my background was nuclear medicine. We became partners and co-owners of the company. Together, we built a leading diagnostic imaging company. Ben an I had worked and survived together through hard times and good times as majority owners of the company. He was always willing to take risks to grow and develop new areas. As a privately owned company, we had a great, close group of employees that made it successful. Time has gone by too fast since retirement, and my condolences go out to Cathy and all of the Sanderson family. RIP To my old partner, Ben.
I met Ben way back in 1978 in the northern medical imaging days in Bemidji, MN. Ben was a registered diagnostic medical sonographer (one of the earliest ones). He willingly gave of his time and knowledge and got me interested in and trained me in that field. That enabled me to become board certified and have a career in sonography for 36 years. Wild game feeds in Bemidji or golf tournaments in Bismarck and Forest Lake. I am very glad I met him. Sorry for your loss! Don Gunderson Bemidji, Mn
So sad to hear this. Thoughts and prayers to Cathy and all the family. It’s been many years since the last time I’ve seen any of you but you have never been forgotten. As a kid I had many good times and life long memories were made thanks to Ben and his family. I am thankful to have ever met Ben! One of the best men I’ve ever met! Will never forget you!
