Ben's obituary
How We Remember Him
He was a man of the land. From his boyhood on a farm, he retained during his life a respect for the land and for nature.
He loved to work with his hands--to create things and to mend. There wasn't anything that he wouldn't attempt to do himself.
He was a quiet man--not given to showing his emotions--but a man who felt deeply, in his own way.
He was an intelligent man, who derived great pleasure from books. He was always learning, going to school, and pursuing new avenues of interest.
He was a man concerned with basics rather than the frills of life. Although he was not religious, he always practiced the Golden Rule. He was a disciplined man, and a man of strong principles of honesty and integrity.
He was a family man. His wife Lorraine shared his life for 44 years. They married young and their love continued throughout the many trials of marriage and life. He had two sons, Harold and Cary, who were a source of much pleasure and pride. His five grandchildren were the special joys of his life. Robyne, Jeffrey, Kimi, Dana, and Jill gave him much happiness and love, and with him he was able to show his feelings of great affection.
He had two sisters, Sue Shrote and Ruth Colson. Even though separated by distance in recent years, there were strong feelings of love that endured from their early life together.
He was a true friend in all senses of the word. Those who knew him could always depend on him in times of need.
Ben Bigman was a man who loved his wife and family above all. He was a man of principle and conviction. No matter what life brought him, to the end, he was HIS OWN MAN.
