sending condolences to family, especially to Nadine and Craig. Ben and Nancy had been friends for many years, but we used to see Ben on a regular basis when we owned our gallery in Riverhead. There was many a weekend when Ben would arrive at the gallery for a coffee and yarn, before he headed back home to Nancy, on his motor scooter. RIP Ben.

Ben was one of the most wonderful, kind and loving people I have ever met, and he was very generous and thoughtful to my family and I. He was also a wonderful husband to my mum´s niece Gaelyn, and he will be dearly missed. Heaven has another one of our loved ones. Blessings and love to all of the family.

So sorry to hear of Brian's death. I had the privilege of being his best man when he married Nancy all those years ago.

We are very sad to hear of Ben's sudden passing. We remember him for his quirky sense of humour, attention to detail and barefoot ways.
He was a meticulous gardener and a colourful character in Feilding and will be sadly missed.
Our sincere condolences to
Gaelyn and family

Sad to hear of Ben's death and warm condolences to Nadine.
We met at Orama about 1971.
He was an unassuming man who worked diligently and was respected for his quiet demeanor. He was in many ways a perfectionist and also had a quirky sense of humor, which for some was difficult to fathom, but once you knew him better, he was very likeable and approachable.
He will be missed by those who knew and loved him.
