Ben Vermeer, known from the RTL program B&B Vol liefde (B&B Full of Love), has passed away at the age of eighty. B&B owner Ted Walraven told RTL Boulevard. Ben visited Ted in the second season on Madeira. He hoped to find love with her.
“My super candidate, my clown, my buddy, the golden boy,” Ted reacts. “We enjoyed him so much. I am losing a dear friend.”
Family and friends commemorated Ben with a death announcement. “Not many really understood you, but that’s what made you special. Convinced that it was over, our unforgettable father, proud grandfather, my dear friend, has stepped out.”
Ben participated in B&B Vol liefde in 2022. His son had several apartments on Madeira, so he knew the island well. He had also met Ted before. Although there was no romantic connection between the two, a friendship developed.
