Ben was an avid golfer and enjoyed fishing. His dogs Jessie and Olivia were always by his side. Ben's personality was larger than life. He loved to talk and to him no one was a stranger. He always had a story to tell or a joke to share. Ben had the biggest heart and to him family always came first.
