So many memories, Benji. All that made us smile.
Thank you for the time you made for Nan. Thank you for showing me Canada! I will always remember watching the blue jays with you and trying to keep up with you on the bikes! :-)

My first job in the steel industry was working beside Ben at CCTF way back in 1978. He so knowledgably and was always happy to pass along his wisdom. More importantly, he was a true gentleman. So sorry to hear about his passing.
