Friend : Ben Taeusch (AA8AH)

I was not a friend, but was honored to attend his service as a Cod Base USSVI member, as Ben was.
Ben's Obituary:
BENJAMIN L. TAEUSCH, age 86, of Cleveland Heights. Beloved husband of 57 years to Sonja A. Taeusch (nee Ranheim); dearest father of Benjamin H. Taeusch (Anne McPartlan) and Daniel A. Taeusch; loving grandfather of Tyler, Bryant, Mikayla Taeusch and Andrew Lewis; great-grandfather of Michael Benjamin, Grayson and Braxton; dear brother of Dr. H. William Taeusch, Jr. (Ethel, deceased); uncle to and friend of many.

Ben was a proud United States Navy veteran of the Submarine Service. He continued his love of radios for most of his civilian life. He was part of the elite 16% to hold an Amateur Extra class license and worked for Amateur Electronic Supply for many years. He always had a good story to tell about his favorite customer, Joe Walsh, guitarist of the Eagles.

He married the love of his life, Sonja Ranheim, on September 5, 1964. They shared a beautiful life together in Cleveland Heights, OH. Ben was very devoted to his faith and loved spending time with his family. He was very supportive with his boys and their love of playing hockey. He engaged a lot of his spare time with various church youth groups. Ben was a diehard Cleveland sports fan and enjoyed following all the teams no matter what their standings were.

A few years ago, his name popped up on a veterans list and he got recruited to join the US Submarine Veterans’ local chapter Cod Base, USSVI. The monthly meetings gave him a great way to share his stories on the USS Sailfish and hear their stories of interesting times spent under water.

In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate contributions in memory of Ben to USSVI Cod Base, c/o Mike Burk, 19320 Dawn Ct., Strongsville, OH 44149.

We ask your prayers for the family of Ben Taeusch. A service in thanksgiving for his life will be held at St. Paul's Episcopal Church, 2747 Fairmount Blvd., Cleveland Heights, Ohio 44106 on Saturday, June 25, at 2 p.m.
