Vanderburg, Ben – In his 82nd year, with his family by his side and in the thoughts of close friends, Ben transitioned peacefully from this world. Adoring husband to Christine (née Irwin) for 60 years, phenomenal father to Charlene and Dan (Krissie), Grandpa to Ethan, Kieler and Westin. Best friend to Mary and Doug.
Immigrating from the Netherlands in 1952, his family settled in Lindsay. Upon Christine’s graduation from nursing school, they married in 1965. Ben, along with his father Frank, worked at Union Carbide for a time, following which he formed a construction company, Vanderburg’s General Contracting. Ben’s entrepreneurial spirit led him to owning and operating 3 service stations. At the same time, he acquired and managed a dairy farm and gravel pit. His race horses provided many hours of excitement with friends and trips to Greenwood, Mohawk, Kawartha Downs etc. Ben’s 25 years in real estate as a well respected, multi award winning Realtor/Broker/Owner led him to help better the lives of many. Ownership of the Admiral Inn Hotel, Restaurant and Conference Centre was among his last adventures. Time on the farm is where he enjoyed the past number of years, planning, digging and playing with his Heelers by his side. Ben’s grandsons brought him great pleasure as they spent a lot of time enjoying activities on the farm (except rock picking!). His children-his pride and joy, followed in their dad’s entrepreneurial ethos successfully exploring a number of opportunities and careers. Ben and Chris had a wonderful life, enjoying a good deal of travel and experiences together. Ben will be missed by his siblings and many life long friends.
Ben had the biggest heart, helping hundreds of people during his life time. In keeping with Ben’s wishes cremation has taken place. A private family service will be held. At Ben’s request and as he often would do, he asks: “Do something nice and unexpected for a stranger and tell no one”.
– Be kind, Be compassionate and Be understanding towards others – just for today. ~ Ben
