Benjamin Anthony DiJanni

Ben was an exceptionally skilled mechanic who loved spending his time with family, friends and working in his garage. When he wasn’t working, he liked watching television shows, movies, comedies and historical documentaries. He also enjoyed listening to music and the occasional date night with his wife. He loved building and riding go-carts, golf carts, and pretty much anything with an engine. He was a dog lover, specifically miniature pinschers, and a secret cat lover. He enjoyed working with his dad on various projects and he looked forward to teaching his son how to work his trade. He spent his last days doing what he enjoyed most and was happy every single day. Ben passed peacefully surrounded by his closest family and friends and he will be terribly missed by those he left behind.

Benjamin was predeceased by family members Joseph Anthony DiJanni (grandfather); Ida Edith DiJanni (grandmother); Walter Jorss (grandfather) and Dorothy Jorss (grandmother).
