Anthony B."Ben"Daniels

Born July 9, 1924 in Centreville, MS and passed away from this earth in Baton Rouge, LA on June 1, 2012 at the age of 87. He called himself a cranky disagreeable knucklehead who would disagree with a stump if it would let him. He was preceded in death by a wonderful wife and friend of 57 years, Maureen Daniels. He said she was better than he deserved. Visitation will be Wednesday, June 6, 2012 at Rabenhorst Funeral Home East chapel, 11000 Florida Blvd, Baton Rouge, from 5:30 pm until Memorial Service at 7 pm. He is survived by three children, son and daughter in law, Tad and Debby Daniels of Florence, SC; daughter, Erin Daniels Lambert of Baton Rouge; daughter and son-inlaw, Kerry and Troy Bruhl of Hammond; his nine grandchildren, Timothy Daniels, Sean Daniels, Ashley Daniels, Paul Lambert, Elizabeth Lambert, Kristen Bruhl, Kellie Bruhl, Ben Bruhl and Edward Briggs; and a great-granddaughter, Ava Daniels. Ben graduated from LSU in 1944 with a degree in Electrical Engineering. He worked five years for Gulf Oil in Venezuela where he met the love of his life, Maureen. Ben then worked as an Electrical Engineer for the East Baton Rouge Parish Sanitation Department and retired after many years of service. Ben was very involved with the Cajun Clickers Computer Club, YMCA, Louisiana Public Broadcasting and also volunteered at the East Baton Rouge Parish Library. He passed from this earth kicking and screaming, "I won't go." His last words were "I will be back."
