I had the pleasure of knowing Ben within the hospitality industry. From the first time I met Ben, it was evident he was doing what he was meant to do. Ben was the perfect host to whom ever entered the establishment. Ben set the bar high.

Debbie and family. Although I was not able to attend the reception for Ben yesterday my thoughts were with you and your family. The community has lost a great man but more importantly many have lost a great friend. He was a friendly face, a listening ear and spoke from the heart. He has been so supportive to not only me but my family. His smiling face is missed. It is so difficult to understand the reason for Ben's death but what we do understand is he left a mark on so many hearts and he left us with memories that we will never forget. Take care of yourselves and my hope for you is that you feel his spiritual presence everyday

Ben was a truly special person. I often ask myself what is our purpose in life and how will we know….? Ben and his family entered the Brandon community and made their mark in the hospitality industry. Ben and his family and employees always treated You like you were a “special guest “ whether it be at the restaurant or at a catering event. That is truly a gift that was received by many and I know will continue with his family and employees.Thank you Ben for noticing everyone! Well done Ben, your legacy will live on. Rest In Peace.

Debbie and family
I’m not certain what amused Ben the most? Perhaps my constant complaint about there never being any parking spots close to the restaurant or maybe my on-going complaint about the fact that he insisted on putting walnuts in his bread pudding - my favourite dessert, but without the walnuts? It also could have been my feeble attempt at speaking Spanish?
Ben had the unique talent of making everyone who came to his restaurant feel "special" and he was the kind of person one immediately liked after the first handshake. For us, his food was just part of the reason we went to Benny’s. It was the fact that Ben was there and that he took time to drop by our table for a visit and that members of his immediate family were there too and they often had a visit with us as well. Simply put, it was a place of comfort, a place of friendship. Something else I appreciated was Ben’s support of local musicians at Remington’s and later at Benny’s. I think he may have passed along his sense of humour to Liz who greeted me one evening at Remington’s with, "start the party, the accordion player’s here"! After taking over the restaurant, Ben gave me permission to continue doing "drive-by accordion ambushes" there as I had done for the previous owners!
It’s taken me a couple of weeks to put my thoughts together and to realize the huge hole Ben’s absence will leave in so many lives, None as large as the one he leaves in his immediate and extended family. To them we extend our sincere and heartfelt
condolences and a wish that the sadness you feel today will one day be replaced by the mainly happy memories you all have in common.
Best regards,
Joyce and Bill Turner

Ben was Brandon's "treasure"! The most wonderful fella who always went above and beyond for his customers and his family. He was such a great community supporter. That smile will never be forgotten. Deb, Natalie, and Elizabeth and family, know that you will be in our thoughts as we all try to move on without Ben.

Debbie, Family and Benny's Staff;
It has taken me some days to decide what to say! A man who lite up our day when we saw him in town or at Benny's. Scott and I were saying; on tough days we would go there just to see Ben and have a wonderful meal.
Being in a business club with him for many years actually made getting up at 7am not so painful..lol! As I looked forward to our visits and hugs.
Right now life doesn't seem fair to have taken such a fine fellow! Within the community we have had so many conversations on WHY? What a loss to our city. But we find peace that he isn't suffering and at rest! And know he is still taking care of everyone and every thing.
Our thoughts will be with you during these grieving days and always! Grief is never gone; we just learn to live with it and SMILE when we think of our loved ones.
Scott and Bobbi-Jo Flannigan

We are shocked and saddened to hear of Ben’s passing. We loved going for lunches and our staff Christmas parties. Ben always made time for us and pretty much knew exactly what we wanted to order. To Debbie and family, as well as Ben’s staff and friends, we send our love and condolences from the Cutting Edge crew.

So sorry to hear of Ben's sudden passing. I have so many fond memories of Ben from the many dinners, parties and celebrations you have helped us with over the years. His passing will create a void for not only you and your family but the Westman Community as a whole.
I wish you the best as you struggle with your grieving process. He will be sorely missed!

Oh my Crazy Colombian! The sadnesses we have in our hearts for Debbie, Liz, Natalie, Tanner, Lucas and Calder is great. There are really no words. Thank You Ben for just not talking the talk but you walked the walk. Thank You for making people feel special. Thank You for fulfilling your dream of owning your own restaurant and making it a success. Many people were able to share that dream with you and we all felt your appreciation. Your staff have a huge hole but you taught them well. Our hearts go out to them as well. Your smile and laugh will never be forgotten because we saw and heard it so many times. Rest Easy Ben ❤️
