    Ben was a vibrant man who adored his family. All his efforts were focused on the absolute success of his five elegant daughters who he was infatuated with on a daily basis. He was the ultimate role model for his 10 grandsons. His 6 granddaughters were amazed in his stature as a man of integrity.

    His most impressive virtue was the love of his wife of 57 years. Ben dedicated his every thought and was driven to the ultimate quest of his dear wife's every desire. It was a wonderful love story played out in front of his family daily.

    The only regret is 9 great-grandchildren will never understand as I do the contribution Ben made to the McLemore dynasty.

    May his legacy live on!
