Linda & family,
I was sad to hear that Billy had passed away. But then I began to laughing and remembering the GREAT times I had working with him at Ithaca College. It did not matter how busy it was, the call was always "on my side of the car mister." He always made me laugh.
My thoughts are with you and if I can do anything to help during such a difficult time, please let me no.

Our deepest sympathies to everyone. It seems to be the year for losses. I'm sure that Bill, Jim and Bob (Dad) are having coffee and telling jokes somewhere up there but will forever look over all of us. God bless you all!

I know Billy is in good company. Surely first embraced by loved ones, Then Bob (Maycumber) and Dad (Jim Benjamin) took off looking for some greasy spoon (now that there are no worries for health), and tracking down an any auctions or best places to get a deal. I’m a bit in shock that the three left this earth so close to each other. Billy was a good friend to my father, and a man I looked up to as a child and adult. Linda, Lisa, Sue, my thoughts are with you, just as your well wishes supported my family just a few weeks ago.

To Uncle Bill,
You were probably the best uncle a girl could ever ask for. I miss you so much. I know you're in heaven looking down on Aunt Chum and all of us each day. No one could ever take away the impact you have made on my life or everyone else's. I love you. Rest easy in heaven, and fly high with the angels, Uncle Bill.
