Ben was an active and faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for 44 years. He mentored many young men over the years as a scout leader both in Pensacola and Milton, Florida. He found joy and happiness in serving the Lord through service good works, and church callings. His calling as Scout Master was what he enjoyed the most.
Ben made his career at Bill Smith Electric as an electrician. Many young men were influenced by his strong work ethic and dedication to the company.
In his last years, Ben’s greatest treasure was being surrounded by his children and grandchildren. Family get togethers were the highlight of his days. Ben was respected and loved by many. Even during his illness, he never failed to joke with his nurses and make them laugh. We give a heartfelt thanks to all the staff that assisted Ben, providing care during his illness.
