Not sure what to say?

Thank you to everyone for sharing memories of our father and sympathy for our loss. He was an extraordinary and special man and we were lucky to have him as a father. His affect on our lives will be enduring.

I worked with Benny for many years at Boeing, always a joy to be with, and very talented in technical illustration. In the early days of Boeing, when layoffs started, Benny was working in an illustration group, and his bosses had their office separated by glass windows from the worker bees. Benny would lip read who was next on the layoff list and would alert them before the bosses could come out and tell them, they later covered the windows.

To the family I want to express my sympathy on the loss of your loved one. I worked with "Beny" for 11 years in Graphics at Boeing. He was such a sweet and kind man...I always remembered him. In fact, I saw him at a Graphics luncheon about a year and a half ago and we visited at that time. He was a wonderful co-employee and such a joy to be around. May God rest his soul and give each of his family and friends comfort.

Denita, I offer condolences on your loss. I didn't see the notice in time to attend the service. I've thought of you often over the 40 years since high school. I came across a drawing of yours recently. Wishing you and yours peace and happiness. Chris Martin (Campbell) [email protected]

Benny's family, I am so sorry for your loss. Your Dad and Grandpa was the sunshine of my time with Boeing Graphics Department. So caring. Fun. Fantastic listener regardless of any disability. Talent - I almost forgot to mention. Keep him close with your memories.

Tracy and Family,
I briefly spoke with your your father (Eldon) only a few times and found him full on energy, spunk and enjoyable to visit with. I'm sorry to see him pass but will always remember him for his laughter and good humor

I have so many fond memories of Benny. He loved telling stories and I always loved listening. I will never forget his laugh. He will be missed by many.

Denita and family: I got to meet Mr. Benyshek a few years back. He exuded sweetness. I am sorry for your loss and know he will be missed.

Denita,

I have fond memories of your dad when we used to hang out at your house between play practices at South. He was a most kind and gentle man and I'm sure he had a profound influence on you as you were always just like him.

My thoughts and prayers are with you, you son and your family. May God bless.
