After raising his family in Lebanon, Indiana, Ben eventually returned to Seymour, where he spent the later years of his life.

Ben proudly served his country for 12 years in the U.S. Army Reserve in Ohio, attaining the rank of Captain. An Airborne Ranger, his military service was a source of great pride throughout his life and reflected his deep love for his country.

Ben had a heart for helping others and believed deeply in giving back to the communities he called home.

An avid golfer, Ben first picked up a golf club at the age of 11 and developed a lifelong love for the game. Some of his closest friendships were formed on the golf course, where he enjoyed countless rounds with friends and family.
