But through help from his parents and friends and his determination to succeed, he became a funeral director in his family's business and an amateur ham radio operator.
'He didn't let his injury stop him. He never felt sorry for himself,' said Clark Hennessey, a partner in the Metcalfe-Hennessey Funeral Home in Augusta.

Mr. Metcalfe, 59, of Augusta, died Wednesday at Christ Hospital in Cincinnati. He was a funeral director with Metcalfe-Hennessey Funeral Home in Augusta.
Mr. Metcalfe was injured during a swimming accident in 1963. His parents nursed him back to health and he later earned his embalmer's license.

'He was like a brother to me,' Hennessey said. 'Benny was a strong fellow. Most everyone he met liked him right away.'
Mr. Metcalfe was a member of Augusta Presbyterian Church. He was a licensed extra amateur radio operator, and a member of the Greater Mason County and the Grant amateur radio associations.
