Benjamin A. MacDonald world traveler, accomplished sportsman and brilliant raconteur, died on
Monday, March 10, 2014, in Venice, Fla. He was 75.
Ben played hard and took pride in working as little as
possible. Known for the generosity of his heart and
the hospitality of his home, he made living well more
than ’the best revenge’; he made of it an art. Ben was
born in 1938 in the malodorous city of Passaic, N.J., to
Benjamin MacDonald (the Elder), an inventor and
heifer breeder, and Anne McCurry, a schoolteacher.
He attended Yale University; after graduating with a
degree in history, Ben enlisted in the Navy and was
given an honorable discharge in 1962. He married
Betty Smith, who would bear him two daughters: Julie
and Lynn. At first, Ben seemed to attempt a conventional life, earning a law degree (from Washington
and Lee) and going to work on Wall Street - in what
capacity, no one seems very clear. But the straight life
was never to Ben’s taste: he did not suffer fools gladly,
and to him bosses were a particularly irksome variety
of fool. Until the mid-70s, Ben’s life was all about
gambling: he gambled in the casinos, and he gambled
in the stock market. Then in 1977, he found himself
on the Margaree River on Cape Breton Island in Nova
Scotia. He fell in love with the place and two years
later he bought a farm. He also fell in love with a
Margaree native, Bonnie Jordan and married her in
1991. Starting in the mid-90s, Ben spent more than
half the year in Cape Breton, with Bonnie, his cows,
pigs and chickens, and his beloved dog, Lexi. He’d
hoped to get back to the Margaree Valley one more
time, but he ran out of time. He took enormous pleasure in a good story, well told. No one who saw his
face light up when he heard one will ever forget it. He
liked to say that the facts should never be allowed to
get in the way of a good story. Ben was a man of large
appetites; and he also loved and hated on a large
scale. He hated petty bureaucrats and bad wine; political correctness and peanut butter. He loved smart
women, beautiful women and butter; the ocean and a
good book; cribbage, fast cars and laughter. He
adored his wife Bonnie and his two daughters and his
four grandchildren. Having spent many years as a
gambler, Ben didn’t end up as one. By the final curtain, he was living as close to a sure bet as mortals
can hope for. He’d crafted his life with the care and
inspiration of a sculptor, inspiring a home shaped by
the enthusiasm and warmth of his personality; it was
his great work to have shared this way of life with
those he loved and shown them how it was done.
Ben’s legacy was a life well lived - which is, after all,
the ultimate story well told. Condolences may be sent
to the family at: www.sydneymemorialchapel.ca
