Our sincere sympathy to all the Fenton family on the sad passing of your uncle Brother John we always looked forward to meeting him after the plays in Ardpatrick may his gentle soul rest in peace

To the immediate, extended Fenton and Quirke families, Br Ben’s Presentation Confreres, his past pupils and his many, many friends, my sincerest and heartfelt condolences on the loss of Uncle John and our dear Br Ben.
Br Ben has been part of my life for over twenty years from when I first met him. We have corresponded regularly keeping ourselves updated and well informed of our respective families and our various escapades. His hearty laugh and his presence lit up any gathering or room and his absence will be profoundly felt particularly in Maiville.
Many were the numerous and very humorous jokes and poems I received in the post along with pieces on Edmund Rice and other religious iconry. He always kept me more than well entertained.
I will have a large void to fill and go through much less notepads and ink for sure. I will inevitably miss my dear friend as so many others will also attest too. May Br Ben truly have a well earned rest now, although, I imagine he will undertake much exploration and many catch ups above first.
Rest in Peace Br Ben. Sincerely and with lots of love as always, your friend, Theresa x

May he rest in peace.

My condolences to the Fenton family, Presentation Brothers and the extended Presentation family at Maiville.
With a twinkle in his eye and great laugh he enjoyed the banter as we had our native Limerick in common.
RIP Ben

It was with great sadness that I heard of the death of Br. Ben and deeply regret not being able to attend his Requiem Mass as I am out of the country at present. I first met Br. Ben at Easter 1980 when my friend, Regina and I travelled to Poland on the same trip as Br. Ben. He was very kind to us then and we remained great friends throughout the years. Our last meeting with him was in early summer '23 when we spent a wonderful afternoon in his company, catching up on old times. Br. Ben also gave us a tour of Maiville, a place that was very dear to him.
I wish to extend my sincere sympathy to Br. Ben's nieces and nephews, grandnieces and grandnephews. Family meant a lot to Br. Ben and he always appreciated family get-togethers. He was particularly thankful for your help when he compiled his memoirs of a very full and eventful life. My sympathy also to the Presentation brothers in Maiville and in the wider Presentation Community. Ní bheidh a leithéid ann arís. Suaimhneas síoraí dá anam dílis.

Very sorry to hear of Br Ben's passing, my condolences to the Brothers in Maiville and the wider Presentation Family. I had the pleasure of recording some of Br Ben's brilliant and hilarious stories when working as archivist for the Brothers. He lived life to the full and will be missed.

I was sad to hear of Brother Ben's passing but then happy to hear how beautiful it was- a dream death in that he lived a full life to the end and died surrounded by his family.My friend Anne and I met Br. Ben for the first time on a trip to Poland in 1980 which he had organised. We had a memorable time.He was always full of joy, with a twinkle in his eye and a sense of fun and adventure.He had a wonderful interest in people and everything that was going on around him.He was a gentleman in every sense of the word.He really did have a positive effect on all those who crossed his path and left this world a better place for passing through it.May he rest in peace now.
