Statement from Lunenburg Town Council on the Passing of Ben Smith
The Town of Lunenburg extends its heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of Ben Smith, whose dedication to our community leaves a lasting legacy.
Ben began his career with National Sea Products in Lunenburg in 1964, eventually becoming Vice President of Engineering. His work helped shape the company’s operations across Canada and internationally. Following his retirement in 1999, he continued to serve as a consultant and later played an important role in the restoration of St. John’s Church after the devastating fire in 2001.
Beyond his professional accomplishments, Ben devoted countless hours to community service. He was actively involved with the Lunenburg Curling Club, Bluenose Golf Club, Lunenburg Board of Trade, Lunenburg Marine Museum Society, and numerous other organizations. He was also a founding chair of Curl for a Cause and contributed significantly to fundraising efforts supporting local hospitals.
His commitment to Lunenburg was recognized with the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal in 2012. In 2018, Ben and his wife, Roxie, were honoured as the Town’s Volunteers of the Year.
Ben’s generosity, leadership, and commitment to making Lunenburg a better place will be remembered with deep appreciation. Our thoughts are with Roxie, their family, and all those who had the privilege of knowing him.
