Joanne and family, we are thinking about you guys at this difficult time. Wish we could be there with you. We will cherish the memories we have of Ben. He will be sadly missed but will never be forgotten our in hearts. With love from sister Gloria (Ambrose) and niece Lori Ann (Roger).

Joanne, Sorry we are not there to share in your sorrow during this sad time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the girls. Ben was a wonderful brother, and he will sadly be missed by all of us. The memories we shared will stay with us forever.

We will miss Ben. We will miss the laugh, the quick smile, the kindness, and the strength of character. Ben was a unique person. Kind, good, gentle. Ben was real. So while he is gone, he is still here. His spirit and his ‘personhood’ will never die. Go in peace, Ben. God bless you forever. Pray for us.

Aunt Joanne, Paula and Angela, we wish we could be there with you at this time, but we want you to know that we are thinking of the family. Uncle Ben was a very thoughtful and caring man who I looked up to. I really enjoyed being in his prensence this summer while he was in NFLD, every time I seen him he put a smile on my face. I know it hurts and makes us mad that god took him from us, but knowing that he is away from all the suffering and pain, and is with his mother now puts my mind a ease a bit more. RIP uncle Benny, you will be sadly missed but not forgotten, you will always have a place in our hearts.

Dear Joanne, Angela and Paula,

I am very sorry to learn of Ben’s passing, and I offer my deepest sympathy for your loss.

With love, Alix.

Uncle Ben was a great man that will be sadly missed. Even though we didnt get to say good bye, you will always hold a special place in our hearts. Joanne our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

Love Melissa and Dennis

Thinking of you and your family at this time of sadness, wish we could be there with you. Uncle Bennie and I shared some wonderful times together and a good many rounds of golf, I will surely miss our time together. Rest in Peace Uncle Bennie. Our thoughts and prayers are with you Joanne and family.

Love Joey, Trina and family

Joanne, Angela and Paula, I don’t really know where to start. Uncle Ben was one of the few good men I`ve met in my life. He`s one of the only people I`ve known and haven`t once had a bad thought about. Even my best and closest friends don`t hold a standing that high. He was just a good man, and that’s what makes this so hard to understand. I remember the first time I met him, or at least the best first memory I have of him. I laughed when I saw him, telling him he had a golf course for a haircut. He just smiled that big smile I saw so many times and laughed that same warm laugh. A laugh I`d come to know and love. Ben was one of those few great men who never made you feel out of place. I could always go to Ben and feel like I could talk about anything, hockey especially. I`ve never actually wanted the Canadiens to win the cup. But last year, I would`ve done anything for them to. I knew Ben was in the hospital watching, along with his miniature shrine. They were an underdog team and they put forth a hell of a run. I know it made him proud to see his team go far. It still hasn`t really hit me that he`s gone. I know he is, and as I sit here and write I know why I`m writing, but I just can`t picture it. I can`t picture seeing your family without him. Maybe that`s when I`ll cry. It took years before I finally cried about Grandma`s death. I guess death just effects me differently. I`m terribly sorry to hear what happened. I wish I could make it out to pay my last respects but I know I`m going to visit him more than one last time. I know he`s in a better place now, but I want him to be back here with us. I want him to come over and smile and laugh. I want him to struggle reading balderdash words because he can`t quite seem to read the writing. I want to shake his hand as he comes over for a visit and laugh as my brother and him do there secret shake. I know when it sets in its going to hurt. But I know he`s looking down. I know he`ll be at my next game, and I know he`s looking proudly at his family out east and his newly expanding family here. He was an amazing man, and I`m going to miss him. I love you Aunt Joanne, Angela and Paula and I know he loved you too. And as much as you miss him right now, I know he`s up there missing you

Love David

Joanne, We are so sorry for your loss. May God be with you during this time. I’m sure our cousin Angela will be of great comfort to you. You are in our prayers. With Love Bob and Kathie Mackenzie nee Aguanno

Joanne, Angela & Paula: We are already profoundly missing our best friend and we can only imagine how it must be for you. For Benny, his family and friends were everything and he was always there for them. He carried his illness with strength, optimisim and dignity. We take consolation in knowing that he no longer has to suffer and I know his strength, along with your happy memories and the love and support of your friends and family, will help you through the difficult days and weeks to come. You once said you don’t feel you had enough time with your husband but I can tell you that even the best part of a lifetime doesn’t seem like enough when you lose someone. A person is only truly dead when there is no one left to remember them…Benny will be with us in our hearts and minds for always.

Love Jean & Frank

God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around you and whispered “come to me.” With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hardworking hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best
What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget
I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you and your family
