He also leaves brothers Jim and Richard, sister Audrey Scarborough, and many nieces and nephews. Ben was a humble man who was loved by everyone who met him. He always put others' needs before his own, and never wanted any glory for the many good deeds he's done. Ben served his country proudly, as a Chief Petty Officer in the U. S. Navy during his nearly 22 year career. His first duty station was aboard the USS Cimarron, he went on to a Wespac tour aboard the USS Bennington. He was chosen to serve as the Medical Officer at the South Pole Expedition, and finished his Navy career in a tour of duty in Viet Nam, where he was Chief Hospital Corpsman assigned to the 1st Marine Division, where he received numerous awards and commendations. Ben then went on to be a business owner, and with Bette, ran Creative Office Systems in Tempe. For the past ten years, Ben has worked in Congressman J. D. Hayworth's District Office as the Veteran's and Military Affairs staff member. Ben had many accomplishment's during his tenure. One of Ben's enduring legacies was his work to preserve Luke Air Force Base. Ben not only worked with the Fighter Country Partnership as an active member but he took a lead role in securing congressional funding which provided the Air Force with $14 million in additional funds to protect the base from encroachment. Ben also played a key role in designating the National Memorial Cemetery of Arizona and ensuring its funding and continued growth through Congressional action. Ben was also very involved with the Navajo Code Talkers and again took the lead in securing $87 million for a veteran's health center on the Navajo Nation. Ben served the Veteran's of Arizona honorably, whether they needed help with their benefits or were in need of medical assistance, Ben was always there to protect and help them. Ben felt honored to have the opportunity to assist constituents and considered it a great privilege. Ben was a liason to the Carl T. Hayden VA Medical Center, where he was one of the original organizers of the Veteran's Day Parade we now celebrate in Phoenix, and continued his involvement until his passing.
