Loving and devoted husband to Sandra for 37 years. Much loved dad to Emma and Amy and their families, as well as adored Pop to Jacob, Olivia, Annabelle and Sebastian. Trusted friend and mentor to many.

Initially diagnosed in 2006, Ben took each diagnosis head on and remained resilient and positive despite what the prognosis was. Ben’s attitude was so infectious that over the years “Team Ben” was created and with it a support crew that cheered him on with each cancer challenge that was presented to him.

A special thank you to the team at Estia South Morang who provided Ben with a warm and loving environment during his final months, and for the support and comfort provided to his family over this time.
