Deepest sympathy to the family. I knew Ben through Fellowship and he never failed to make you smile, his love for God was contagious. I will always remember Ben as a man who tried to do the right thing even when it was hard. He was a steady man who worked hard, raised his family as best he could and loved God at his core. A man to be admired and respected. May he rest in peace.

I worked with Ben over 20 years ago but will always remember him. He was such a character! There was a huge snow storm back then and we were all advised to leave work early. On my way north on 380 I saw a stranded car and sure enough it was Ben. I pulled over and gave him a ride to his house in CR. It took us 2 hours to drive from CVL to CR so I got a chance to really get to know him better. He was so sweet. The next day back to work he had made a card with a cute little drawing of me “saving” him on the side of the rode.

I knew Ben from work. My deepest sympathies to his family and friends.

Worked with Ben at D.A.E.C. during an outage in the 80's. Great to be around with and made it a pleasure to go to work. My condolences to family and friends...............

My heartfelt sympathy on your loss of Ben. He was an upright man with a heart full of love for people and especially God. This world is poorer for losing him.

What a great loss. I just started working by him and enjoyed every minute. This man was always happy and brightened my day. I’ll miss his whistling and his “pardon me Mamm”.
