Following his schooling Ben served his country during the Vietnam War having attained the rank of Corporal while also working as a medical X-Ray technician. He returned to Michigan and went to work at Herman Kiefer Hospital working in the X-Ray department and also with their mobile X-Ray unit. Later he went to work for Ring Pattern and Manufacturing which later became Ring Technologies. Ben worked as a fixture maker and was known as a man who could fix or solve any shop problem. He retired after more than 30 years of service. Ben's real passion in life was working and tinkering with guns. He was quite a gifted gunsmith who some considered an aficionado to repairing the non-repairable. Ben was a simple man who enjoyed in retirement his weekly breakfast with his best buddy or son Brian. He enjoyed tinkering with most things that had a motor such as his Harley Davidson, or his tractors. However he was just a family man and homebody who enjoyed life, his family, and country. Ben was the cherished husband of Mary Ellen, and dear father of Michael (Dawn) Temerowski, Sharon Temerowski, Brian (Shawn) Temerowski, Janice Temerowski (Markus Irwin), and Lynn Temerowski.
