Ben Day Obituary

I had the honor to be Ben's last secretary when he retired from law practice. It was an absolute honor to have known him and to work with him. He will be missed by many. He will always be remembered with fondness and admiration. My very deepest condolences to you, Judy and Family.

I knew Ben from my early years as an attorney. Sorry that I am only now seeing the notice and therefore missed the funeral. He was always so friendly and accessible as a colleague. The last time I saw him was at Christina's at lunch time. A great guy.

Dennis Day,
We are so sorry for your loss. We have very fond memories of Ben Louis and all the fun we had in our neighborhood so many years ago.

Judy,Adam and Dennis my heart and prayers go out to you.
I have many great memories of the times spent fishing, hunting, riding trails, working on the hot rods and just plain hanging out with Ben. He was a very good friend and will be missed tremendously.

Dennis and family, so sorry to hear of Ben's passing. From reading the obit, it's quite apparent he was quite an accomplished and caring man. May you all find comfort in the good times you shared with him...Lynn Cornett, AT&T Supply Chain

Judy,
We are so very sorry for your loss. You and Ben have been so very kind and helpful neighbors. The two of you have really made us feel welcome to the bayou. We will greatly miss talking to Ben. If there is anything that we can do, please don't hesitate to let us know.

Judy & Adam, I am so very sad to hear of your loss. I wish I could be at the funeral. Ben was like a brother to me. I worked with him on legal matters starting around 1998 until he retired. When my wife, Donna, and daughter, Madison, needed to travel to Southeast Texas they flew into Baton Rouge and Ben was there to meet them and escorted them safely to the freeway. He even brought an Easter basket for my daughter who was not very old (she is now 18 years old). That is the kind of person Ben was - very caring and a gentleman. I admired Ben as an attorney but he was even a greater person than he was an attorney, which says a lot because Ben was an extremely attorney. Oddly and what must have been Devine intervention, I had called Ben on my way home from work last Thursday (I tried calling him every few months since he retired) and we had a great conversation. As always, he was up on current events and we discussed all of them. He ended our conversation by saying "I love you", which he never had before. I replied that I loved him too. Little did we both know those would be the last words we would say to each other. I will and do miss Ben a lot. Like I said, he was like a brother to me. Heaven is getting a great person! You both will be in the Pangburn family prayers and thoughts. - Michael

Such a tremendous loss. Much love, Colleen

I worked with Ben's mother Kay in the 50's,at LSU Infirmary . She was the sweetest person inside and out. She was so proud of her boys. If I am not mistaken, Ben came to my wedding in Paincourtville,La. with his mother.

So sorry for your loss. He was such a fine young man. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.

Such a great loss...I remember him from childhood school days and had the joy of seeing him as our careers crossed as adults; he was still that same charming, considerate and caring boy from our childhood, thoughtful of others and a purpose in life.

To the Day family,
Ben was one of the great people I had the honor to meet and know. He was an older frat brother that I greatly admired for his smarts and quick wit. We worked together at McCollister, Belcher, McCleary & Fazio law firm and had a ball!
I haven't seen him in many years but know he is greatly missed.
God bless

So sorry for your loss. David & I have known the Day family since our Istrouma days & know Ben's passing will be of great sorrow to all. God bless him & his loved ones.

Judy, So sorry to read of your loss. I didn't know Ben but sounds like I missed meeting quite a gentleman. Keeping you in my thoughts & prayers.

Ben was one of my favorite people, a wonderful law partner many years ago, and a friend that will be missed. God Bless you Judy and Adam.

Dearest Judy,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and Adam. Ben was truly one of the good guys and he loved you so. May God hold you in his loving arms and comfort you during this most difficult time.

Ben will be greatly missed. I thank God that I could call him my friend. Prayers to his family.

My prayers for Bens' family. I remember him fondly.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Judy, I am so sorry for your loss. You and your family are in my prayers.

Rest in peace. Mr. Day was a pleasure to talk too. Full of encouraging words.

Great friend throughout the years. Enjoyed riding dirt bikes with him. Also enjoyed asking him questions and listening to all the information he had to share. Will be missed. Praying for God's peace for his family. Kenny Cutrer

This is a great loss for many beyond the members of Ben's family, as he touched the lives of those who knew him in many circles. He was wise, fair, respected for whom he was, and for what he shared with us.

His legacy lives on in his family and we will always see his face, hear his voice, and laugh with him as live passes by.

May God bless his family at this time with peace, joy, and a Fatherly embrace of comfort.

I am saddened by the loss of this very dear friend, I will miss him dearly. I pray that The Lord will bless Judy and the rest of Ben's family, during these very sad times. Ben was my dear friend.

My heartfelt sympathies for you and your family . This is the yoyo-man Jim E Johnson
