Paging Dr. Bob - I need an answer

On Sunday morning, Ben wanted to sit on a new bench in Bowring Park. He hadn't seen this one before and there was a plaque on it.

"In Memory of Dr. Robert Burden Bartlett" It had his date of birth and death.

"Read it Mama"

I did. Then the questions came "Who is Dr. Bartlett?" "Why is his name on a bench?" "Why does it have his birthday on it?" "Why do people die?"

The answer (at least the one I gave) "Sometimes people get too sick and they get really tired. It's better for them if they go to sleep for a really long time."

"Is that what happened to Dr. Bartlett?"

"Yes"

"Where is he now Mama?"

"Somewhere nice and cozy where he can sleep."

"Can we go feed the ducks?"

For now, my answer seems to work.
