Ben was a proud fisherman his entire life and started fishing
at the young age of 14 alongside his father. He tried his hand at all
types of fishing over his career ranging from long liners to ground
fishing to lobster fishing. He loved the sea and always worked hard
throughout his life to provide for his family making many lasting
friendships along the way.
Ben was a man with many passions in life. Anyone who knew him
knew he loved playing cards and attending card plays whenever he
could. He will truly be missed by his friends and card partners, Aub,
Doug and Vicki. He was also a skilled dart player and could often be
found playing in leagues and tournaments with his wife Mary. With
these combined interests and his love for hunting with his friend
Lowell, he will be truly missed by many in the multiple communities
and societies he frequented. He loved to sing and had a love for
playing guitar with his loving pet Ty by his side, singing through his
songbook from cover to cover.
Ben is survived by his loving wife, Mary (Mason), children,
Terry, Roseanne (Les), Travis (Susanne) and Aaron (Pamela); his

A fisherman’s
prayer
God grant that I may live
to fish until my dying day.
And when it comes to my last
cast, I then most humbly pray
When in the lord’s safe
landing net
I’m peacefully asleep
That in his
mercy I be judged as “Big enough to
keep”
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of William Benjamin ‘Ben’ Mosher 19472018.source
