We all love you Ben!


This is Ben Scott, he was my boyfriends stepfather up until May 11, 2005 when he passed away in his Ramona home. Posted by Picasa

Benjamin E. Scott, was 74 yrs. old when he passed away. He was born June 21, 1930 , in Harrisburg, Oregon. He had lived in Ramona since 1979. He served in the U.S. Navy and was a retired cabinetmaker after 40 years, but working with his hands continued to be his passion.
He enjoyed working with woods and metals. As well as building fine pieces of furniture and cabinetry, he built many gadgets and even restored ofl funiture.
He is remembered by his family as a caring, loving man who was easy to talk with. Many locals will miss his daily rides through town in his wheelchair, eventlually ending up at the doughnut shop.
He is survived by his wife of 30 years, Julia Scott of Ramona; his daughter Karen (Laurent)Thomas of Santa Barbara; Son James Scott of California; Stepdaughters Denise M. Domingo of El cajon and Stephanie A. (Steve) McCoy of Ramona; stepsons Anthony M. Kinney Of El cajon and Darryl S. (Cassandra) Kinney of San Diego; brother Leroy (Jackie) Tinsley of Oklahoma City, Okla:; three grandchildren, Sarah, Lauren, and Eric; seven stepgrand-children, Leland, Daniel, Alan, Valerie, Ian, Steven, and Jennifer; and one great-grandchild. Graveside services were held at Nuevo Memory Gardens in Ramona May 18th, 2005

And I also want to add that from my personal experiences of knowing Ben just in the short time that I did, he was a Very nice and pleasant person to be around, he'd go everywhere in his wheel chair with his little campanion dog Foxy on his lap. Anyone that had met Ben for the first time said that they felt like they've known him forever because he was so nice and easy to get along with, and was so very true. He loved collecting license plates and different sounding horns. He also had his own shop on his property that he enjoyed very much working in all the time, and Ben he could make damn near anything!
We all loved him and miss him very much! God rest your soul Ben!
