He was an extremely hard worker and even in his 90’s was known to say that he so wished he could still work on the farm. Ben faithfully attended the Hilda Baptist Church. He was also active in the Hilda Community Association. He fondly remembered running the reel to reel projection system at the Hilda Hall for movie nights as a young man. He also enjoyed curling, playing pool and cards, and going to the Medicine Hat Stampede and Rodeo every year. He continued to be interested in anything to do with nature and the environment, the oil and gas industry, green energy, farming, technology, and politics. Benny semi-retired in 1998 by moving into the town of Hilda. In 2011, he and Wally moved to South County Village in Medicine Hat where he lived until his passing. Ben was most grateful for the tireless prayer support of his family and friends. The family would like to thank the devoted care workers that became Ben’s extended family in his last days.
