To the Briggs clan, Benny was a classmate of mine back in the ancient times of pharmacy school. Benny and his friends became my friends freshman year . He was like a really cool cousin to me. I have the most cherished memories of him. My most sincere condolences on your loss.

Ben and I were roommates for the week with Brandywine Valley Ski Association. Second night it started snowing and continued snowing into day 3. We decided to ski from the condo to the lodge for coffee. On our way to the ski lift we saw an expert skier from our group headed back to the condo. We should have known the skiing was not good but the thought never entered our brains until later. We went to the top of the mountain. Hours later through Sierra cement snow we got our coffees. Falling many many many times . Looking through the snow to find our skies that were under the snow as we crashed and burned. Coffee was soso as I recall. Shuttled back to the condo for cocktails. A memory I will always reminder. RIP my friend. Watch out for Sierra Cement ❤️💋

I worked for Ben back in the early 90’s when the pharmacy was in the old Wawa then in Pickering. He was a great boss and a friend. He helped me navigate through treatments my dad was getting at the time for cancer. He was so knowledgeable and really wanted to help people. My deepest condolences to his family. RIP Ben

I met Ben the first time at one of his great bonfire at his home. Were he made pots of chilli. We would all gather round the fire drinking and eating listening to the band he also had that night.

He will be dearly missed!

I send my condolences to his family. Remember the good times!
