Bev was always a gentleman and a gentle man...I have missed him and will always be grateful for his guidance and friendship. It's been a long while since I last saw him but I have thought about him often...his kindness...sense of humour...I have many things to remind me of him...bird houses (wren, swallow and owl)...a child's picnic table that he built for Sneh...our raised vegetable garden...and a cathouse...lol...a few years back we had a cat come to stay with us outside...I mentioned it to Bev one day and perhaps a month later he delivered a 2 room insulated luxury log home for the cat..."I built you a cat house" he said with laughing eyes...I didn't think he had that kind of humour in him...it sits on my deck and has recently become home to another wandering cat...the last one stayed 9 years.

We shared a love of birding...early one summer morning...quite unexpectedly I spotted one of my life birds, a scarlet tanager...it was bird I had had spent years trying to tick off my list and there it was...I was so excited and there was only person I could share it with...Bev....so I called him and animatedly shared that I was staring at a scarlet tanager...and just as I told him, it flew off...he was excited for me and asked, "Well did you get a picture?" (in fairness this was long before cell phones had cameras)...I felt more than a little silly when he asked....it was something in the tone of his voice...he expected me to have been sensible and taken a pic first before calling...I admitted, "No, I called you."... I could feel him shaking his head as he said with disappointment "Oh Axy!". I'm glad I called him first because the value of the laugh we shared over that one was far more than a photo of the first and only (to date) scarlet tanager I've spotted. Thinking about that morning has made me smile over the years.

I remember the first year we held electives at VCPS. Bev was happy to help us with a wood working elective...the time he spent designing a project (bird feeders that attached to windows with suction cups)... gathering donated wood and cutting the wood to appropriate sizes but still leaving the kids room to learn woodworking skills reflected his intense commitment to community. Sneh had an opportunity to take Bev's elective in the second year and loved it. We still use the feeder nearly 10 years later.

Bev was always part of the solution.

Our love and gratitude to Fran (My Girl), Lori and John. Bev was a great man. He has been missed for several years now. We are very sorry.

Axy, Jaspreet and Sneh

Our Sincere sympathy Fran and Family. We remember how much he did for St. Mary's Church in Mount Forest. He took great care of the Kitchen at St. Mary's, helped on the altar and the Priest in many ways. We know he loved his family and as you miss him, you will feel he is at Peace. Treasure your happy memories. Sincerely, Bob and Mary McIntee

You have my sympathy Fran. I am sure that Bev is in a better place now.

Sincere sympathy Fran and family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time during the holiday season. Remember the great times. Wayne and Sandra

So very sorry to hear this. Fran, I will be thinking of you and your family and keeping you in my prayers.

Our sincere condolences. Bev was such a nice man. We enjoyed working with him at events at St. Mary's church and parish hall. My father in law Len Seifried often alter served with Ben at funerals. He will be missed by all his friends and family.
