His favorite memory was being present when the Dios Con Nosotros PCA Church in McAllen, Texas was dedicated and he was presented a Certificate of Appreciation for services rendered. He loved talking about the youth mission trips to Jamaica and Mexico and how special the groups were.

Ben spent lots of time in his life making or fixing things, from building a dragster and racing with a group of friends in the'50's to remodeling a kitchen, building cabinets and finishing a cabin on the river in the 80's. He was a good auto mechanic and restored several wrecked cars in the early years of the girls driving.

Ben was privileged to be a member of the Bay Area Presbyterian Church and felt a close association with the congregation and staff. Ben loved the Lord and through his long illnesses he relied on the promises God gives to His children. His faith never wavered.
