Ben Sassler Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Ben was a devoted father and dedicated time to spend with his sons. One night each week was reserved for getting together to go out and eat. Many times that was followed by getting a movie and watching it at home. One of their traditions was to spend New Year's Eve together, watch the ball drop and set off sparklers to ring in the New Year. When he was younger, Ben enjoyed making glass beads. Over the years he developed an interest in photography and he had quite an extensive music collection. He was a true animal lover and greatly missed his dog Kemar.
Beloved father of Joseph and Andrew. Former spouse of Karen. Loving brother of Alfred (Leigh), Fred (Shelly) and Guy. Cherished son of the late Joseph and the late Lila (nee Pearlstein). He will be missed by his many nieces. Also survived by many aunts, uncles and cousins.

Ben was always such a sweet soul. He always had a smile on his face. He frequently reached out to us online on holidays to connection. He cared so much about his sons and he was proud of them.
