Excerpts from Ben's Obituary below do little to give a true picture of him, his inner strengths. It doesn't say as it should for example that he was inventive or a very talented Tool and Dye Maker as well who loved his work and not only tirelessly served his employer through his many skills but also his family, friends and neighbors for most of his life.
