I am so sorry to hear of Ben’s passing. Know I’m thinking about all of you and sending you my love. We had some wonderful and fun (crazy, but fun) times up at the cottage- your Dad (Grandpa) always ready to go fishing with us or boating, memories I will always cherish.
All my love, Heather
Remember him from Mangurians. We would walk the street in the neighborhood and take pictures of some of the fancy homes. Also went to lunch together and had a lot in common when it came to taking picturs.
Carrie, Tony, and Family…
Danny and I are so very sorry for your loss. We were fortunate to meet both of your parents. They were lovely people.
We love all of you and pray your days become brighter soon. Love, Danny and Janie
Ben and my dad, Bob Tracy, worked together at Mangurian’s for many years. He was a great friend to both my parents. I knew Ben, too from the five years I worked there part-time. He was a sweet, easy going man who would do anything for you. He laughed easily and was always a pleasure to be around! I’d like to think that he and my dad have reconnected in heaven. I’m so sorry for your loss.
My father, Tom Speedy and I were just remembering our neighbors, the Shiro’s from village of Fairport. We enjoyed staying in your summer home at TI park. Heartfelt thoughts to your family
