Comments
Ben was a great booster for all of Northern BC. His insight will be missed.
I’m sure that it must be very difficult and emotional for Elaine and the crew at 250News, posting stories and updates such as this!
Wishing all of you warm memories today as you celebrate Ben’s life!
Ben made a great contribution to the north for many reasons including because he wasn’t afraid to seek the truth even when it was buried deep in politician spin.
As long as we can remember his smile, as long as can remember his laugh, as long as we remember his gritty voice as he probes deeper for the truth, he will always be with us.
All the best to Elaine, family and friends as you reflect and celebrate his life!
Will always fondly remember Meisner and Mair back to back, it is time to go gently into that goodnight, good sir.
Going to miss him, he was our William Wallace.
