  1. A good friend for close to 50 years Gentle Ben. Not just mine but many many friends he had. Rabbit

  2. My mentor, my defender, my “Uncle”, my friend. I will be lost without him. Was always there for me to talk to when I needed him, and I needed him a lot. He was never too busy to help a friend in need. My heart goes out to Robbie and his family who were always so tolerant of that. That will never be forgotten. R.I.P. Uncle Benjie Forever in my ❤
