John Benjamin

The world is a much sadder place without your laugh and good humor and all that enormous talent. I will miss you my friend.

You live in on in all the deep abiding love and friendship that you have infused in us. You made us part of your community and we were all the better for it.

John
I'm sure you're in the Eagle's Nest section of heaven, calling the Saints to "RALLY"
God Bless Arwen Beth and Bette.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

John, my friend, you were truly one of a kind. I'll never forget you as King/Queen of the NASAA prom in Memphis or all of your other high-spirited and good-humored antics at conferences and meetings. I'm not going to forget that drink you still owe me for something...we both forgot why. I'll collect some day.

Lots of love and my condolences to Bette and the family.

Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you.

When I think of John, I see that sly twinkle in the eye that suggests a playfulness about life. I was fortunate to see John in the role of Henry Drummond in "Inherit the Wind" at the Shelby County Community Theatre.
His portrayal was captivating. It seemed to be a role made for John.
I will miss his humor and fine wit. My sympathy goes out to his beautiful and gracious wife, Bette, and to his family.
Godspeed.

John was a unique personality, a one of a kind. We were childhood buddies, and I remember going to Eagles Nest many times, and sneaking out of my house and going over to his, pulling on the string he had tied around his toe with the string hanging out the window, then we would go around the neighborhood, doing what 12 yrs old boys do in the middle of the night ( nothing really, just being out ) later years we would see each other on rare occasions, but always like we'd just seen each other ...
