War, serving as a heavy mortar gunner in the

discharge, he attended Texas A&M Univer-

29-year career as a petroleum engineer for the Humble Oil Company, now
Exxon-Mobil. Ben married his beautiful, devoted wife, Florence Fritsch, in
1961 and the two of them built a loving family and traveled the world. Their
travels took them from West Texas to Australia in 1968, to Libya in 1972,
and to Indonesia in 1978. Ben and Florence remained overseas until retiring
to College Station in 1986.
Ben was a sweet, kind and generous man. His priorities in life were faith,
family and neighbor. Ben was a devout Catholic and an active member of
St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Parish. He volunteered for St. Vincent de Paul,
