Thanks for the many conversations and laughter shared in the smoke yard at NUMMI. Under that tough exterior was a warm and gentle heart. Will toast you next time I'm at the races and lay down a bet in your honor. Missing you my friend.

My Dear, Dear Friend, Just love Thelma for getting a hold of me so I could spend some time with you and thank you so much for coming by the morning you crossed over to let me know you were gone. I'm so going to miss my buddy :(Ben you and I have been friends for many years and I'll cherish the memories in the plant and of us playing pool, you were rough on me in that game. The ones I did win still think you let me. Anyway P.I.H kiddo and I will see you again. I promise to watch over Thelma for you, what a wonderful lady your married, she is such a sweetheart. You and Mike and John enjoy your time in eternity free of pain and back to being young and vibrant! I'll see you all again someday and we will have a big time reunion :) I love you my friend and kept my end of the bargin!

A fellow Irishman that I counted on for honest insight and comment. Would put up his "dukes" in a second to protect a principle or a friend. Time to hang up the gloves and bask in the Love of our Lord.
You have won this fight my friend.
