Arthur A. Benjamin

SMSgt. Benjamin was one of the greatest men I've ever known. He was professional, patient, compassionate and ever so generous.

In the years since I left Johnson, he has often been in my thoughts. I will miss him dearly.

SMSgt. Benjamin taught me so much more than just aerospace science.

Sgt. Benjamin- thank you.

Words are simply not enough to express how saddened I was to hear of Sgt. Benjamins passing. Kindness was part of his make up. He was my instructor in ROTC at Hiram Johnson and the impression he left on me was evident immediately.(to this day my mother says this was the only class I got a A in)He was always thoughtful. Even when I came to see him at Johnson 15 years later he would always ask me about my parents and what I was up to. He was a strong member of the church and seeing him outside...

SMSgt Benjamin was a truly gifted educator. I remember when he joined the AFROTC staff at Hiram Johnson and became my mentor. His infectious smile and laugh was enough to brighten my darkest day. I used to come back to Johnson just to see him. His teaching wasn’t just about the Air Force, it was about life. Even today, twenty-something years later, I still think of him and his advice often.

My prayers and condolences go to the Benjamin family. I know God is smiling because...

My condolences to the entire Benjamin family,And to you sir you taught me more in life than you will ever know. I love you and will miss you always


Go Air Force

a truly great man, Mr. Benjamin was my principal while i attended Hiram Johnson. never have i seen an adult so dedicated to the education of young adults. He will be in my heart forever.

I was one of his form students and I am so sorry to hear that he is gone. He taught me a lot about the air force and a lot about myself. Your family are in my prayers.

I’m so glad I had the opportunity to know and serve with Arthur Benjamin while we were stationed together at Mather AFB. He inspired those around him to do their very best. He was always positive, a hard worker and someone you wanted on your team. Art, we will miss you. Thank you for touching our hearts.

To your wife and family, please know you have our sympathy and are in our prayers during this very difficult time. Art will always live in our memory.
