Ken was not only a giant of a man,
but his capacity to love and lift
others was huge. This carries our love and sympathy to all his family.

Your father was a super person. He raised some special and very neat children. Our sympathy is with you at this time and we are thinking about you.

I remember Ken at college family staff parties up at the old college cabin in the canyon. He was always kind to the kids and made sure we got a chance to ride a horse, even when we weren't sure we were brave enough to ride. He was greatly admired by many.

I recall when Kenny Benson was the football coach at Union High School in Roosevelt. He also was the recreation director and he gave me my first swimming lesson. I jumped in and got water up my nose. He told me I would do better the next time and I did--plus I learned how to swim.

Our family extends our love to the Benson family. Your are so blessed to have such a kind loving man as a husband,father, brother and grandfather.
