Sorry for your loss. Ben will be missed at the golf club.

Regards, Johnny Lee…

I am very sorry for your loss and offer my sincere condolences. I have had the pleasure of working with Ben at various times during my career. Both at Burka Architects and Graziani and Corazza Architects, Ben always put everything into his work, whether it was preparing drawings or building golf clubs. I always considered him a valued friend and colleague. He will be missed. Whenever I swing a club, he will be in my memory.

Take care.

Ben and I talked many times about golf club repairs, as I once owned a golf club repair business…I had the utmost respect for him..He will be missed..

Just like Ben I’m a big fan of Caro Emerald. I’ve read about his attempts to get Caro’s music broadcasted on radiostations overseas. It’s such a shame that a person like that passed away. I’m sure he was a wonderful man. Condolences to all friends and family of Ben.

I offer my heartfelt condolences to Ben’s family and close friends. I truly enjoyed my many golfing ventures with Ben. He was not only a spirited golfer, but a true character to play with. Always filled with stories and worldly adventures, he brought a kind spirit and warm smile to our golf club. Ben you will be missed, however, rest assured that your spirit will always remain with your fellow golfers at the Borden Golf Club.
