at Benard Siding, MB in 1912 - the year the Titanic sank as he used to say. Ben married Delia in June 1934 in the St. Boniface Cathedral. He moved to Toronto in 1941 and worked for CN Railway until his retirement in 1976 at the age of 64. He celebrated 60 years of marriage in 1994, just before his "vieille" passed away. Ben was a gentle, loving man who always had a kind word, a gentle smile, a song in his heart and a dance in his feet. He loved to play the harmonica and dance the jig while his brother Ernie played the fiddle. Family was the centre of his life - he was there for them always. He travelled 1500 miles every year to spend summers with two of his daughters and their families in Winnipeg until he was 76, when he moved here permanently. Special thanks to all the staff at Tache Centre for their care and attention during his stay. We know they will miss their gentle dancer.
