Not sure what to say?

I lived across the street from Mr. Benoit as a child in Dayton, OH. He was always very outgoing and usually working outside on his home while I would be out there shooting hoops in my dad's driveway. He and his family were always super nice to me and very kind. I am sorry for your loss.

A very nice man. Enjoyed talking to him. Was a real gentleman.

Rest in peace, Moe! Dayton Gems "Extraordinaire", on and off the ice. I am proud to have been a teammate.

My inspiration for playing and being a fan of Ice Hockey. Moe who played for the Dayton Gems lived across the road from our farm in Trotwood back in the 1960's. He was not only my favorite Gems player but someone I knew and I got to know his family including his sons as well. I was motivated to play the game myself and did well at it because of him. I played for 14 years.

But I will never forget when in 4th grade I was hospitalized with Rheumatic Fever, Moe sent me a signed hockey...

I played with Moe in Dayton from 1967-69. What a great team mate and even a nicer man, Condolences from our family to yours, Rest in peace big guy. John and Joan Adams, Thunder Bay, Ontario
