Benjamin Martin Anixter

My deep condolences to the family - I was Ben Anixter's secretary at AMD during the early 70's - I always respected and admired him - always had a twinkle in his eyes - If I ever called in sick when I worked for him, he would go around and ask the other secretaries: Did I scream at Loretta yesterday? He was great!

I am late to learn about Ben's passing. I truly loved Ben. He taught me how to problem solve, remain honest and still have a sense of humor. He respected women for being just as smart as men. I truly loved him and think of him often. I am so sorry that I never told him how much his leadership and friendship meant to me. I missed a chance and I want his children to know he was an exceptional human being. I love you, Ben. I was so fortunate to be in your world. I miss you, Ione Ishii

May you find peace and comfort in the words mentioned in John 17:3 during this time of stress. In getting to know God he will show you his tender mercy and his love for us.

Only a couple of us had the chance to meet Martin's dad, Ben, but sharing a dinner with him many years ago in a Craig Street restaurant was such a treat. Warm and clever, he impressed me as having many of the qualities we like best in Martin. On behalf of the whole gaming group, Martin, our sincerest condolences.

Dearest Patty,
I'm so sorry for your loss. Life is so short. I truly enjoyed reading about Ben and learning about his accomplishments and loves. Stay strong and know you and Harrison are surrounded by love.

What a great smile! And what a terrible loss. I'm so glad I had a chance for a lengthy conversation at Dad's funeral last year. Patty and Harrison, we love you both and are keeping you in our prayers. Annie

My sincerest condolences, may our loving father give strength to help get through difficult times like these

With his appetite for life, Ben was truly what we all wish we could be. He really epitomizes Ecclesiastes 3:13 " Everyone should eat and drink and find enjoyment for all his hard work. It is the gift of God."
