Remembering Ben always with a smile and holding his beloved dog "Daisy", which was quite a sight as he was 6' plus and then tiny Daisy girl all of maybe 2 lbs. Oh, how he loved her and his Janet......keeping Janet in my thoughts and prayers as her journey continues and may the love of family and friends be kept close to help you heal through this difficult time. Sending love..............

I was fortunate to work and be associated with Ben for many years. He was a true gentleman and scholar of his religion. Janet I extend my heartfelt condolences in your present day of loss. Ben always spoke so highly of you and how fortunate he was that you came into his life and how you enriched it. To his children I hope they know how fortunate they were to have him. I was as a fellow employee of Westlawn.
