He was passionate for hunting and fishing, never missed a Bears game and loved watching the Braves. A gun junkie with an impressive gun collection and could rattle off on history as if he was there. Compassion for animals held a large part of Ben's heart, from his beloved dogs to his newfound love of rabbits and chickens.
