Read MoreI was deeply saddened to hear about Bill's passing. He was always a welcome visitor at the Mt. Southington ski patrol office. His enthusiasm for the ski club helped an enormous number of students learn about the thrill and joys of skiing.

Mr. Benzing was really cool. I never had him but i was wishing i got him in 8th grade. Every Wednesday we used to go snowboarding and he would be there taking pictures of me and my friends. It was so fun hanging out with him on the slopes. He would always say hi to me in the halls. Every one says hes a great teacher and i wish I could have gotten to have him. Rest in peace, you will never be forgotten.

I never had Mr. Benzing as a teacher. I was only in seventh Grade. Mr. Benzing was a once in a lifetime teacher.

I can remeber it like it was yesterday when Mr. Benzing was taking pictures of me on my first snowboard at Mount Southington. Mr. Benzing was also an avid contributor in saint mary's church.

A great friend once told me "Goodbyes are funny, because you'll never know when you're saying your last one." Mr. Benzing was not a teacher of mine, but a friendly face around the school and community. A teacher in Bethel for 35 years, a soft ball hall of famer inducted in 2002, an asset to the community, and being a volunteer are some of the many things I knew him for. He will be missed. My sincere condolences to the Benzing family.

As a classmate of Bill (Bethel HS Class of 1969) it was with deep regret that I heard of his passing. He was a great friend to all: always with a smile on his face and laughter in his heart.

Mr. Benzing was a great teacher. He taught me so much about math and about life.
