Benjamin Kenneth Henry
August 23, 1946 — December 7, 2014
Benjamin K. Henry, age 68 of Hastings, passed away December 7, 2014 at Magnum Care in Hastings.
Ben was born in Winnipeg Manitoba Canada on August 23, 1946 to the proud parents, Alexander McGee Henry and Kate (Kostyk) Henry.
In younger years, Ben and his brothers enjoyed yearly week long family vacations to Ontario to fish to their hearts content and enjoy the outdoors. With the passing of Alexander, Kate remarried Roscoe Bennett and the boys moved to Irving, Michigan. There, they were able to continue their passion for fishing on a daily basis and life became a little easier for a mother of three young boys. Ben went to school in Hastings, didn't graduate with his class but later received his GED, which he was extremely proud of. In later years, he loved collecting coins, going to car shows with his older brother and yard sales.
Ben was preceded in death by his mother, Kate Bennett, father, Alexander Henry and step-father, Roscoe Bennett.
He is survived by two brothers, Alex and Don of Hastings, a loving step-sister, Ellejane Ressegiue of Charlotte and a daughter, Kathy Winert of Hastings.
A special thanks goes out to: Ben's Aunt Alice Slovinsky from Canada who was always there to help in any way she could, Tim Loftus for always being concerned about Ben's welfare, Steve Loftus for sharing his knowledge of coins and friendship, Roy Stadel, who helped with many of Ben's outdoor projects and barbeques, Trudy Akin for cleaning house and making life easier for Ben, Spectum Hospital and Magnum Care for their loving efforts in his final days.
Respecting Ben's wishes, cremation has taken place, a memorial gathering will be held at a later date.
Ben's aggressive attitude towards life will be missed.
