Ben passed away peacefully at the age of eighty-nine on October 20, 2019.
He is survived by Rose, his wife of fifty-nine years, children Amy, Arnold, and Julian, daughter-in-law Emma, grandchildren Justin and Nadine, granddaughter-in-law Rachel, and great grandchild Willow Rose.
A devout Catholic, Ben loved going to church, traveling, gardening, and bowling.
Friends and family will miss him, as he was always the one to ask to pray for them when they needed that "extra help to call on God in times of trouble."
