Emma Weber Mattes -my deepest sympathy to the Fiorintino family on the loss of Ben. As children until the time we were grown we were extremely close being two af the three children born into the family in 1946. Ben loved spending time wit us in upstate NY and was more like a brother to me than a cousin. He loved playing ball with my dad and being so close in age to me he was like a brother. Even after we were grown and married we kept in touch until my move to Florida. distance is so hard on relationships and I will always regret that I accepted that and did not try to stsy in touch with someone that I loved so much. The last time I saw Ben was at my dad’s funeral in 1996. He drove up to pay his respects and I so wish I could have said goodbye to him. He was my favorite cousin always and the only family who would still call me “Sissy”. RIP my dear cousin. Love you forever. Forever, Sissy

I'll always remember Ben aka Putter, as a gentle guy who was a lot of fun. So sorry to hear he has passed. Rose and I send our deepest condolences to the entire Fiorentino family.

Ben, I'll always appreciate how good you were to me and my family. You were a caring Grandpa to Lukas & Chloe (and their cousins). I'll remember fondly those conversations that began with tapping the table and, "Did you know?" You were a great conversationalist!

Your battle was long, but you were a trooper.

Thank you for being a good friend to Mom. She will miss you checking in on her. We will all miss you.

Ben…you have been a part of our family for so long…you have always been wonderful to us and our children. Dani, Matt and James all love you and wish they could have lived closer to see you more often. You will be greatly missed by all of us. You fought a good fight for so long. Rest easy now and spread those wings.
