Linda, Beth and all the Benjamin family: My sincerest condolences on the loss of your father. I would have liked to have been there in person to share a hug, but was attending Tom Grams funeral. Beth: the class thought of you on that day as well, and we missed you. My prayers are with you, and a donation was sent to the alzheimers foundation.

Your family is in our thoughts and prayers during your time of loss. In December 1995, Dr Benjamin performed surgery on our first child when she was 8 weeks old to repair her cleft lip. I have always been thankful that we were referred to such a caring surgeon. As you can imagine we were very nervous as our only child required surgery at such a young age. He put our minds at ease. We both felt that she was in the best possible hands. My only regret was when he left Fargo & moved to the...

Dear Benjamin family,
I was so sorry to learn of Chuck's death. Remembrances of your family had just come up recently at a Followers reunion at Bentley's house, so you were on my mind anyway. The thing that most lingers in my mind about Chuck was a discussion about euthanasia he led at a retreat at Frontenac. It was my first real understanding of the subject, and it profoundly affected my thoughts going forward. I remember him as gentle, kind and very wise. My thoughts and prayers are...

Dr. Benjamin delivered this baby in Glenwood, '69
I am sorry to hear of the death of Dr.
Benjamin. To his family and friends and relatives,my sincere sympathy to you all.
While he was here in Glenwood,he was a great Doctor and when he went on to school, we missed him. I have read several transcrips of his life and he surely did a lot of very special things in the short life he had. May your memories of this man, be a very special part of your lives. Sincerely, Susan
