Michael Edward Benjamin

Dear Benjamin Family, My sincere condolences to you all. I did not know Mike as well as I knew his brothers and sister. Sorry to send the sympathy concerns so late.

Mike-as we approach 1 year since your death, we rejoice in the memories we have as a family. You should be so proud of the accomplishments of your children! We are honored to support them and cheer them on in these challenging times. We're still on watch...

We served together as chiefs and shared office in staff 1(GE) MCM SQN in Olpenitz, Germany.
I only can describe you as role model for all of us. My thoughts are with your family.
Rest in peace Senior !
Rest in peace shipmate !

Mike - what a pillar of optimism and courage! You humbled me with your outlook and attitude. We have the watch over your children - fair winds and following seas, my brother!

I have great admiration for my shipmate Mike Benjamin. We served together as plank-owners aboard USS Hue City and I can testify that he was a fine role model for many young men. Always upbeat, incredibly resourceful, and a smile as big as the sun. Rest in peace, my friend. We assume the watch.

Mike and I were shipmates on Hue City in Mayport, FL. Mike was always ready to help, teach and train. While that particular crew moved on in life, Mike would be proud of how he influenced each of each of us, whether in our Navy careers, or later in life. My condolences to Mike's family.

So many fond memories with you and your family growing up in Prairie du Chien and visiting in LaCrosse. Our condolences to all the Benjamins and especially to Mike’s family.
