Brother to Adlyn, Albert (d), Ivy (d), Sylvia, Mavis, Martin (d), Gertie, and Sarah.
Born in Jamaica. Farmer before immigrating to Montreal to marry his sweetheart. Nursing Orderly at the Jewish General Hospital. Elder at Cote Des Neiges Presbyterian Church.

A line from a song that Ben and Icilda often sang together is “When the roll is called up yonder I’ll be there”. He’s there.
