Benjie attended East Peoria Community High School and soon after became a second-generation bricklayer working in the trade for 40-plus years, retiring as owner of Ben Joos Construction. Benjie was a dedicated supporter of our veterans and volunteered countless hours in the kitchen at the Morton VFW. Benjie's passion for life centered around spending time with his family, fishing and boating. Later in life, he enjoyed helping out around the family farm, traveling and riding his Harley with "his girl," Anita Haddock. Benjie was known to many and greatly loved by his friends and family. He will be deeply missed.
