Deepest Sympathy to the Lennon Family on the death of Ben, a true gentleman, a lovely musician who enjoyed the music sessions and told very witty stories. Sadly missed. May he rest in peace.

Sincere sympathies to Charlie Lennon and all the Lennon Family On the death of Ben. A lovely humorous man and a widely respected musician. May he Rest In Peace.

My sympathies to all of the Lennon family on this very sad news. Ben was a true gentleman and it was an absolute pleasure knowing him. He is one person who I only ever have happy memories of, especially of his amazing music talent. I simply loved being in his company. The 'Master's Daughter' Benefit concert in memory of Patsy in Manorhamilton, followed by the Lock in that he arranged in Heraghty's Bar a few years ago, seems all the more special now. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam uasal.

On behalf of John, Maurice, Brian, David and our families we would like to thank everybody for their heartfelt messages on the death of our father Ben. It has been and continues to be a source of great solace to all of us at this very difficult time. We knew that Dad was much loved and, in normal circumstances would have been given a rousing send off, please rest assured that we will rectify that particular injustice at the appropriate time. Many many thanks again from all of us.

On behalf of the McNamara family (Aughavas) I wish to offer our sympathies to you on the passing of a dear friend of our family. Ben, as a person and through his music was an inspiration to us all.

I wish to offer my deepest condolences to the Lennon family, on the passing of a great man. Ben was a teacher, mentor and a friend to me over the years, and I am privileged to have known him. I owe a lot of my musical career to Ben. I will miss the tunes and of course the stories. He was one in a million - there will never be another. God rest your gentle soul, Ben.

We are very sad to hear of the Death of Ben, who was great friends of my parents Terry and Mona Geoghegan, great memories of all the sessions we had in our house usually after the tunes in the Tatch with Paddy and Betty, Ben would always call to our house with Packie Duignan and Mick Woods and many a great tune was played, I am so proud to have known Ben a true gentleman and a gifted musician may he rest in peace with his beloved Patsy

Sincere condolences to all the Lennon family. A gentleman and special friend, May he rest in peace.

We were very sad to here the news of Ben's passing. He was such a wonderful man, charming, warm, inclusive and the most amazing fiddle player. What a legacy he leaves behind! And knowing that his sons followed in his footsteps must have given him much joy. We have many happy memories of Ben playing all around Rossinver and beyond. Our condolences to you Maurice and family! Our hearts are with you!

Mo chomhbhrón le Clann Uí Lionnáin uilig. Always a gentleman, Ben represented all that is good in Irish traditional music and was one of its most popular ambassadors. A wonderful fiddle player who could put his unique rhythmic swing on any tune, he struck me as someone who had an insatiable appetite for fiddle playing. Like many others, I will cherish fond memories of sessions with him where his storytelling and good humour made for excellent company. Between tunes on my first session with him in Drumshambo, I recall getting advice from him about how to properly hook a salmon! He has created a great legacy and I hope, in time, that the broader traditional music community will be in a better position to celebrate that legacy soon.

Deepest sympathy to all the Lennon family on the death of Ben. He was a musical icon to countless musicians over the years.We will miss his distinctive Leitrim style of fiddle playing and his humorous stories.
I feel very privileged to have known him and recorded with him.
He was the best dressed fiddler in Miltown and everyone there, young and old, loved meeting him.
He will certainly be missed.

I’m sorry to read of your father’s passing, Brian. Condolences to you and all the Lennon family. RIP, Ben.

I was sorry to hear that Ben passed away. I have great memories of him and all his family, from when he played music and ceilli'ed with my father Phil. My father had a lot time for Ben; Ben was kind, witty, talented and a gentleman. There was some great sessions, including Christmas night in Ballymore. I am sure Ben, Phil Rooney, Patsy and Dolly Rooney, are having a great session and catch-up with local tunes from North Leitrim up there. He will rest in peace for sure, a lovely man. My deepest sympathies to the family.
