Ben was a dear friend of my husband Bob and me. We double dated when i was at Winthrop. He was always smiling and friendly with everyone. Over the years we had a great time during our Beach trips. We still miss Ben and always will.

Missing my big brother, Ben, has been hard. I frequently read through his unfinished work wishing I could finish and publish more of them. His stories are worth telling and enjoying. He was so detail oriented and had unique, quirky sense of humor. I that I wish I could match it. I still feel his encouragement in my own writing on a daily basis. RIP big brother, your legacy lives on on out hearts. Love, Deb

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Working on Ben's unfinished manuscripts also helps. Wearing one of his old t-shirts helps when I need a hug. As always, missing my big brother.

I feel honored to have known Ben these past 49 years.
I knew Ben as a man of few words, quiet fortitude, gentle demeanor, fun loving, and one who had a deep appreciation of the joys of a simple life with no airs just Ben.

Ben will be remembered as a beloved son, brother, father, grandfather, an enduring friend and the man who Cathy loved, appreciated and stood by through good and bad times.
I extend my deepest sympathy to Ben's family and all who were connected to Ben by love and friendship.

Ben, your memory will be cherished.

Love and sympathy,
