BENJAMIN A. SAGGESE

Ben was special , he was there when I needed a friend. Merry Christmas in Haven Ben. Keep painting those beautiful sunset. Only you could paint them. Miss you Judi

Nuestras profundas condolencias hermana Minerva y familia. Dios es nuestro amparo y fortaleza, nuestro pronto auxilio en la tribulación. Dios continúe dando La Paz y Fortaleza. Pastora Quirós y su congregación .

Ben and I were friends in the class of 70 at West Branch. He always had the heart and the eye of imagination. Up until lately, his photos of abandoned homes/mansions were always interesting. He was always helpful and encouraging in his responses on Facebook. I will truly miss him. May God's peace and grace keep us all until we are together again with God in our eternal home. Semper Fi, my good friend.

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.

Just learned of Ben's passing. He was the nicest man around. He will surely be missed. Deep Sympathy to Minerva and the Family. Sincerely Mike and Jackie Long

It was always fun listening to how Ben explained the way he and Minerva met. They spoke different languages but could understand each other from the start. Being with the two of them felt so good because of the way they looked at life. Memories of good times shared will last a lifetime. We know Ben gave a unique gift to us by just being himself. Minerva we will always remember fun times together! Love you; Patti,Al and Michelle Middlemiss

Ben was a great artist & my oldest & dearest friend from back home in Pa. I remember him from the times when we were kids & my mom drove us all to Catechism in our car. I will miss our long talks in PA, when i came home to visit,over tea on our common interests on art, writing/poetry & spirituality, etc. I was glad he & Minerva shared a beautiful life together, coming together from different countries & cultures. This blending of cultures sifted down into his paintings of life in...

You have my deepest sympathy, Minerva. He was a wonderful man.

Minerva; My deepest sympathies and condolences. Ben was/is a good friend and will always be remembered kindly. I could alwayssense when he was thinking about me and I would call him and say "what do you want" . He was always shocked that I was right. Too much time went between phone calls but no regrets, only pleasant memories. God Bless, Dan
