HAMPTON — Benjamin A. Caci, 76, of Hampton, died Oct. 11, 2008, at the Hyder Family Hospice house in Dover, succumbing to a long battle with prostate cancer.

He was born in Everett, Mass. Oct. 13, 1931 to his late parents, Frank and Josephine (Fioretti) Caci.

Mr. Caci is survived by his two daughters, Linda (Caci) Barron, of Greenland, and Marie Caci, of Quincy, Mass.; three grandchildren, Ira, Brooke and Garrett Barron; his sister, Louise (Caci) Doherty and her husband, William, of Stoneham, Mass.; two brothers, William Caci, of Winchester, Mass. and Frank Caci, Jr. and his wife, Sue, of Cedar Rapids, Ia.; many nieces and nephews, and his close companion of the last three years, June Ballentine, of Exeter.

He was predeceased by his wife, Nancy (DeMinico) Caci, in 2002 after 41 years of marriage.

Dear Frank & Sue; I'm so very sorry to have read about your Brother's passing. I just happened across it while searching for the obituary for my son's mother in law up in Berwick. When I saw the name of Caci, I just knew it was someone related to you. Once again please accept my sincerest condolences. I miss seeing you both and I'll never, ever forget Sue, singing in my home on Mayberry Hill in Casco, nor in my truck at the hamfest at So. China. Blessings to both of you.
With sincere platonic love,
Lonnie

Thinking of angels can ease our sorrows, strengthen our faith, and lighten our hearts.
Ann Spangler, "An Angel a Day"
I just wanted you to know that I am thinking of you in your saddened time. It is always difficult to lose anyone, but most difficult to lose someone who has been there for you your entire lives, and therefore I send you this quote and hope that you will feel the strength to turn to your newest Angel! Mom is on one side, Dad is on the other. And they are joined as parents together once again.
I know the struggle it has been for you as I am living it still. I am always here for you both! Friends are what keeps us sane in any time of uneasiness! Regardless of how often we are in touch. My prayers and thoughts are with you and always know you may have lost your father but you have gained a new Angel that will never let you down and always be guiding you in their own silent and unseen and unheard way.
I send you all my strength for this challenging time.
