Benny was a caring and protective big brother for my best friend Shlomit, when we were growing up around the corner from each other in Montreal. He will be sorely missed by his family, though he will be welcomed by his parents and other loved ones in the next world. Be assured that he is entering the garden of happiness and will watch over you from heaven.

A moment of silence will be had at tonight's meeting, also shared memories of the man Brother Geisler was to us all as he helped guide and support us in our journeys through life and the craft. The silence of his working tools will be felt by all. W. Brother Davidson Tate

Benny was my cousin. Our fathers were first cousins, who shared the same family name and who grew up together, then became business partners in the textiles business in Israel. Benny lived a few blocks from us and would frequently come to spend a day with me. Then we parted ways, as Benny;s family emigrated to Canada and my family to Brazil. When Benny's rather Tzvi (Harry) passed away, we broke the news to my father. He was very sad and about a year later he also passed away. Years later, Benny would travel to the US where we live, and we were so happy to spend some time with him. He was like a brother to me (we are 6 months apart in age). Benny had a heart of gold. he was an outstanding human being. We miss him terribly.

Benny Z"L was my cousin. Our families were close up to the time Benny's parents left for Canada when Benny was 14 approximately. I remember him as a lively person, who taught me how to write my name in Hebrew when I was 5 and he was 6. When I came to the US 1n 1965, these were Benny and Caroline who welcomed me to America, and I will for ever be grateful to them for their kindness. I am terribly sorry we did not see much of each other on a regular basis, after all Zahava Z"L, his mother, was my beloved aunt. May his soul rest in peace.

So sorry to hear that Ben has passed away. I have known Ben for many, many years from the Cleaning and Maintenance market. I first met him when I was a sales rep at Toronto cleaning supply company in the early 80’s. We struck up a friendship and saw each other at various industry events over the years and had a common bond, both being ex-Montrealers. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire family. May his memory be a blessing.

Dear Carolyn, I was very saddened to hear of Ben's passing, and very sorry that I was not informed so that I could pay my proper respects to Ben. I have known Ben for over 34 years through our industry. He was affectionately known as Uncle Ben here at Magic White's offices. Ben was a kind soul and a very caring individual who always gave me sound business advice. I will never forget the influence he had on me personally and the times I spent with him. May he rest in peace, his memory will forever be eternal in my heart.
