There isn’t anyone I know who didn’t look up to Ben. He was one of the kindest, discreet and the most genuine person I ever met. He will always be my best friend forever. We spend so many good times either on the golf course or having a nice drink with him. Ben will be missed.
My thoughts are with Jacquie and the families during this difficult time.

I had the privilege to work with Ben in both military and civilian postings. A very knowledgeable and caring person who gave all to the security of Canada. He loved to talk about his travel adventures / cruises that he took with Jackie. Lana and I send our condolences to Jackie, family and friends.

So sorry to hear this. Ben was one of my best 291 friends. Served together in Masset and Gander. Lost track of him following my posting out of Gander. I wish to send my deepest condolences to his wife and family on his passing. Jackie, Shirlie sends her love!
