Marilyn and Family, we extend our deepest condolences on the passing away of Ben.
Ben will always live on as someone special in our hearts, he inspired me in so many ways, such a kind person with a great sense of humour. His knowledge for sports talk was incredible, I will also miss our 1 on 1 competitive tennis match ups during our lunch break at work. Ben, miss you, may you RIP.

My sincerest sympathies to my dearest friend Marilyn, Daryl and Taryn and to the Fernandes family.
I met Ben more than 50 years ago…and what I knew most of all, was the wonderful love he shared with his wife and family, a life well lived with true love…rest in peace.

I had the good fortune of meeting Ben when I started working at Stelco in Montreal in 1971. We soon struck up a close friendship, shared many stories, and even more laughs. We lost touch when he moved to Toronto, but after many years, like a true friend, he contacted me and we'd meet every once in a while for lunch in Hamilton with our mutual friend Andre. It was always wonderful hearing his British Guyana accent, catch up with what was going on in our lives, and of course, reminisce about the good old times. Ben was always charming, laughed easily and often. I wish we could have got together more frequently.
Ben lived a wonderful life, the life he wanted to live... with Marilyn, the woman of his dreams, and his family, of which he was so proud. He was a lucky man.
My condolences to Marilyn and the Fernandes family. I will miss my good friend Ben.

My condolences to Ben’s family. You were the light of his life.
I met Ben in 1966 when he joined Stelco. He brought a breath of fresh air into a stodgy, monotonous office of spreadsheets and balanced budgets. His sunny disposition and gregarious nature changed the ambiance of the place.
We became friends and, with Ben, that meant steadfast and loyal friends. I enjoyed his fresh outlook and thoughtful opinions. Ben was a thinker. Life, family, politics and sports were of great interest to Ben.
I was very saddened to hear of his passing. I am grateful to have known him. Ben enriched the lives of everyone who crossed his path. Well done, my friend.
