Fran and were deeply shocked to hear of the passing of dear Ben.I first met Ben in 1980 believe it or not in the Bulls Head Callington. We hit it off straight away. I always thought Ben a bit exotic looking like an Indian of old. With his long black pony tail, words of wisdom and a name like Lightbody who could blame me. Years alter when Ben used to come to Padstow with my brother Paul to visit Fran and myself he became a bit of a celebrity around the town and earned the nickname Big Chief Ben. 

I still have the denim jacket Ben swapped for my leather one he much coveted. I know our lives grew apart somewhat especially after the loss of Paul but I will never forget you Ben and the friendship you and I had before parenthood etc and especially the deep friendship you and Paul shared.

Rest easy now dear Ben I expect you and Paul are up there rolling a fat one! Til we meet again.
