We are so sorry to read of Ben's accident and death. Gentle Ben was a great guy. He even sold me the regulator clock from his DSP office as he retired and I moved up at the DSP Academy. We will miss him.

We are so sorry to hear of the passing of your husband Ben. I (Jerry) was with him for a few hours for coffee Tuesday morning before the tragic accident. How shocked we were to hear he had been hit by an oncoming car which caused his death. Please know our prayers are with you and all your family.

My sympathies to the Ewing family. Mr. Ewing was a wonderful public servant who transcended party lines. He was a true friend to my mother and father, Robert and Mary Speight when they worked at the Methodist Manor House and they loved him very much. May he now rest in eternal peace, waiting to hear the words, "Well done, thy good and faithful servant, well done".

Message from I worked with Ben as a news reporter and then as public information office of the Department of Public Safety. He always had a smile for me and was most cooperative in helping me do my jobs. RIP
