Ben Beagle

1928-2018

Ben was a columnist for the Roanoke Times from 1954 and semi-retired in 1992 from the grind of daily reporting. He did continue to write for the Extra column section till 2010. His writing skills were unique and always entertaining. I was always left feeling a little warm glow from his humorous style, somewhat like the one I got from

Andy Rooney of 60 Minutes fame. 

Ben passed away on Saturday, March 17. He had suffered a stroke and spent his final days in a rest home in North Carolina.
