An accomplished singer, Ben was for many years a member of the Montreal Elgar Choir and then the Calgary Philharmonic Chorus. His passion for music was matched by his love of sports, and he was an avid tennis player, squash player and runner. He also volunteered his time with Calgary Immigrant Services.

Ben is also survived by his sisters Emma and Lily, brothers John, Rick and Dan and their families. He was predeceased by his brother Win in 2020.

 

The family would like to thank the nurses and caregivers in House 2 at Carewest Signal Pointe, and Ben’s homecare companion Marivic for her loving care and support.
