STOCKTON – Benjamin Reddish Jr. s approach to life is best summed up by his favorite question his son, B. Joe Reddish III, said.
Whether it was at work, at home or in line at a store, the elder Reddish would greet people by asking “Are you choosing to have a good day?”
Benjamin Reddish Jr. brought his optimism about life to students over his years as an educator and to his friends, family and community. He passed away Dec. 5 in Stockton at the age of 85.
He left behind a rich legacy of learning, hard work and civic goodwill.
To his son, the basis of all the good his father did is in that one simple, hopeful question.
