I’m so sad that Ben has passed. He was the best of neighbours.. I’ll miss his wave from across the street and our chats, especially our loud chats, when he was snow blowing my driveway..

May the prayers and love of Family and friends provide comfort and peace in the days ahead and May cherished memories keep Ben forever in your heart.
We only spent a short time in his company but his memory endures..
Our deepest sympathy to Pat.
Dear Pat,
We send our sincere and deepest sympathy to you and the Family upon the passing of Ben. . Over the years, we have enjoyed happy times with him at family gatherings. Ben was a real gentleman, soft spoken and kindhearted, with a good sense of humour.. – a very active and fit man who could fool us with his youthful appearance and deeds..
Having enjoyed many happy years together, you have lots of good memories to carry you through this time of grief and beyond. Wishing you rainbow days after the clouds dissipate.. With special thoughts,,
Wanda, Jim and family
