Ben was athletic and would eventually go to college on an athletic scholarship. He graduated University of Nevada Reno with a B.S. Mechanical Engineering degree.

Ben returned to Boulder City in 1960 with his wife, son, and daughter.  Ben also began his career at Titanium Metal Corporation where he would retire after 30 years.

Ben was an accomplished golfer and avid outdoors man who loved to get out in the wide open, unpopulated spaces. Ben loved to talk about the many years of golfing and hunting adventures

He is survived by his daughter Stephanie McNair and his son Ben McNair Jr.
