Ben liked to play “The Grump” but he was too sweet to actually pull it off. Debbie and Ben were always an inspiration as a loving couple after many years of marriage. The members of our Union will always be grateful to Ben and Debbie for years of service to the welfare of their co-workers. Ben was always a mainstay of running gags at the CT State Council of Machinists conferences, including a continual hunt for lima beans.
Debbie — I know this will be hard on you and the kids. But I’ve found the sadness is so strong because the time together, and the memories of those times, are so sweet.
Tiffany & Family –
