Brian Ellsworth "Ben" Davis

Brian was a great guy and always smiling and made everyone around him enjoy life to the fullest. To all his family and friends I am sorry for your loss.

I had the honor to crew for Captain Ben on the Sweet Liberty in Naples, FL. The Good Captain made every day an adventure.

I attended the OKC Air Traffic Training Center in 1979 with Ben and he was one the special people that I met there. He talked about his warm, supportive family and how much he loved Portland, Maine. I happened to try to look him up today and couldn't believe it when i found the news of his passing. Please accept my sincerest condolences to his family and friends. He had the most beautiful green eyes and he was a great, fun-loving guy and he will surely be missed.

I knew Ben more through acquaintance with his siblings, and recently as a neighbor to my Mom. Still the same smiling handsome guy from decades ago; and he radiated a warm feeling despite his recent challenges. My heart goes out to Sara, Blaine, and Belinda ... and the entire family. Peace to all.

I met Ben years ago when I was a teacher for his son Ben in grade 3 at Nobleboro, (Maine) school; and I also got to know "little sister" Emily too in that small school. Dad Ben was still traffic controller then, and what fun we had sending a teddy bear named "Ellie" around the world and back to our classroom several times, bringing us postcards and souvenirs. This was through Ben's airline contacts, and it made our geography lessons fun. Ben and his family invited my husband and I to their...

PLEASE EXCEPT OUR CONDOLENCES FOR THE LOSS OF YOUR SON,BROTHER,FATHER BEN.HE WAS ONE OF THOSE GREAT GUY'S YOU MEET ONCE IN YOUR LIFE.
NEVER A BAD WORD ALWAYS TELLING STORIES WITH A TWINKLE IN HIS EYE! HE WAS PROUD OF HIS SON AND DAUGHTER.HE IS SADLY MISSED BY ALL!

I was a fellow controller of Ben's at PWM in the early 80s. He was one of my initial instructors and he was forever on the hunt for something fun to do, always trying to include as many people as possible! He and Blaine helped me scout out a place to live, when I first arrived in Maine. Rest in peace, Ben, and sincere condolences to all your family.

"Big Ben" was a great guy. I met him when he was an air traffic controller, and I was working next door in the fire station. I ran into him a few times after he retired as he was waiting by the baggage claim, and he told me about skippering boats in Florida. Always saw him smiling and he put everyone in a better mood. He will be missed.
