I remember when he passed away from pancreatic cancer💔 They played his solo song Stay the Night on the radio. I named my son Benjamin in his honor. I loved listening to him and The Cars with my parents. RIP🎸🎶

Ben is not buried next to his parents as you mentioned, that is Ben’s older half-brother & wife in the adjacent graves. I visited last year on our way home a day after my husband’s band played for New Waterford OH Beer & Wine Festival. We left one of his guitar picks. Glad you showed that unique Sofa with Pillow & TV Remote gravestone, I thought it was great. A very quiet small cemetery in the middle of nowhere.

That entire album is excellent. I listen several times a month, sometimes several a week. Can't even say that about my other absolute favorites - Foreigner 4 & Def Leppard Hysteria. Absolutely love The Cars albums - but his solo, just an amazing feel to it. Instantly pulls me out of a bad mood, so it's the first thing I go for now. Much as I'd really love to visit there someday, that's most likely never going to be a reality for my own health reasons. So I'm really glad people who do post these videos. I think it says a lot someone w/ that level of talent & fame has a stone/marker as ordinary as any most of us are probably used to seeing. I've heard Benjamin was a very humble person in life, this looks like he was in death as well.

There are not many guys in rock music with a better voice than Ben had. Hell, in any genre for that matter. He could gravel it up but when he wanted to just sing clean it was perfection. Multi-instrumentalist as well. Very sad that he went so young, the last interview he did with The Cars shows just how ravaged his body was - hardly recognizable :(

Such a humble grave for such a talented & loved musician. It's almost a little sad. But at least he's with his parents. My first 8 track tape was their first album, "The Cars".

It was always Aerosmith's Greatest Hits, AC/DC's Highway To Hell, Slade's Smashes & of course, Candy-O. That Let's Go song really brings me back. Hats off to all of The Cars.

The Cars were a great band. They still get a ton of air play on classic rock stations. It was sad when the band broke up. Ric and Ben had a falling out. Right before Benjamin died they buried the hatchet. There's an interview on youtube that the band did together that was filmed a few months before his death. A year before Ric died, they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

While Rik Ocasik got more attention, and wrote many of the Cars' songs, Benjamin Orr sang lead on most of the Cars' hits: including "Drive" and "Your Just What I Needed"... {The two Lamont sang bits of.} Benjamin had a very emotive, great and flexible voice. Plus, he played bass quite well. And while the Cars were associated with Boston, neither Rik nor Benjamin originally came from there.

I never watched a video about graves, but this was actually really nice and interesting. You were kind to mention the gentleman who died in Iraq. Thank you for showing us, fans of The Cars, this special place where Ben is resting. He was so talented. RIP 💖💜💖

Pancreatic cancer is the worst! My mother passed from this terrible disease nine months ago. It was devastating watching her deteriorate and there was nothing I could do to help her. She suffered so badly in the end. It was heartbreaking!

I'm so sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to you, losing a parent is so devastaing. I lost my mom in January and i miss her so very much, as well as my dad who passed 2 years ago. Pancreatic cancer is absolutely the worst and sadly, by the time it is diagnosed it is already stage 4. I have lost 2 family members to pancreatic cancer and a close friend of mine lost her mom to pancreatic cancer. My deepest condolences to you and your family.

@@kittensanddaisies5615 Thank you. She lived three and a half years. The only sign she showed before diagnosis was weight loss. She went in for gallbladder surgery and discovered the tumor. That was 2018. She moved in with me that year and I took care of her till she passed. My sister helped but the majority of her care was on me. She was still going strong until 2021. She stopped chemo that Summer and her health rapidly deteriorated. Her kidneys started to fail which caused fluid to build up she was bedridden and by December her pain levels were so bad no matter how much pain meds I gave her nothing would help. So she went to a hospice facility and and she was there one week till she passed. My sister and I never left her side. When one of us left the room the other was there. She was never alone. Lost her exactly one week before Christmas. 20 years prior I lost my Poppa to lung cancer the day before Thanksgiving & two days before my Mom's birthday. As you can imagine, November & December aren't my favorite months! My sincere condolences on your losses. 🙏😔💔 My heart goes out to you.

@@MsWDWFAN1 thank you. I'm so sorry to hear that your mother suffered so much pain. I think it is wonderful that you took care of your mom after she was diagnosed. It's not easy being a full time caregiver but that's what we do for our loved ones. My sister and i took care of my mom after my dad passed. I understand how you feel about November and December. I feel the same way about January and February.
