Ben was the big brother we looked up to on our street in Rexdale. He was firm with Raymond and all the younger boys but he was always willing to help us when we needed it. His laugh was contagious. Fond memories growing up with the Steffen family.

Our deepest and heartfelt condolences Brie. Losing a family member is very tough to say the least and only time will heal your pain. Remember your father as he was and know that now he no longer has to endure the pain he was going through. Now he rests in peace. Love Maria and Frank Farrugia.
