Quinto Joseph Benedetti...on this fabled day....the planets aligned..the stars blazed brighter and the Fates smiled. I often told you,that you where more than human,yet less than Devine. Time has proven me wrong...for if you were all those things... You would have stayed a bit longer. We miss your sly wit,your tenacity,your musical voice and your presence. Happy Birthday!

Fourth of July approaches and I often think of celebrating as much of my fortunate past as possible. With fond memories of our friendship and partnership I only hope to continue good health. Because you are something very special and very endearing to all the people you touched in life. Thank you...ELW

Happy Birthday!!! Today you would have been a spry 97 year old Italian Icon. Most likely full of spit and vinegar...with that mischievous twinkle in your eye. As luck would have it...my memories are still vivid. Mainly because you left such a lasting impression..which I'm sure was by design. Thanks for being in my thoughts on this April 21st 2023...wish you were here! ELW

I keep pretending it's 2012 or 13...but alas..... it has progressed to 2023. My birthday has passed...another year older! Wiser?..maybe...because I've learned to appreciate the memories and visions of a slice of life that I've learned never to try to forget. Your eternal gift to me,so far,has been a lucid mind and unclouded senses. This allows me the luxury of being in your orbit...a song,an aroma,,maybe an old movie. I do appreciate the present...yet,my past holds so much more of a reward to boost my daily routine. As always..I say THANKS for the memories. ELW

Thanks for being with me in Spirit. I attempt to harbor a deep appreciation of our time spent together. Today I felt that internal tug that made me put words to digital paper and acknowlege your infulence. I picture your smiling positive features surveying your surroundings and only seeing the good in people. That flame will dwell within me untill old age robs me of my fond memories of You. I have indeed been gifted with vivid past and a bright future...you will never be forgotten.ELW

Happy 96th Birthday! The memories are still fresh and this little band of gold still shines bright. Rosecrans is often on my mind...you resting above the San Diego harbor. From the wild west to your native midwest of Ohio...your Spirit is spread wide and far. Thanks for the memories. ELW

Another anniversary...with many mental archives being awakened. That grin,that spirit,that sense of balance and empathy. I attempt to advocate his loving mantra in my daily efforts. Some days I fall woefully short and then there are others when I fell his inspiration....and I give thanks for having the chance to drift into his social and emotional orbit. I know I'm early in my praise...before your April 21st birthday....I just wanted to aware of my pending thanksgivings. Love...ELW

By some strange twist of Fate...today I happen to encounter a person from Mt.Vernon,Ohio. As our casual talk only lasted about 20 minutes...I received that strange magnetic connection to you. I always appreciate any bit of a touchstone moment with the Quinto Man. This only strengthens my notion that we are all still connected in the cosmic thread of Life. I always attempt to keep the light burning. ELW

January 1st,2022.....Still connected by that slender thread of Hope..that helps us struggle along. Thank you for your positive energy that fires my daily attempt to be of service to my fellow humans....When I think of you Quentin..the circle of Life is reaffirming and joyous...because you inspire me.....Thanks....for allowing me to be better...YOU are forever missed...ELW.

Vetrans Day 2021...Service was always a fabric of your DNA...it showed in your work and in your personal endeavors. I attempt to honor your spirit of positivity and fair play in my daily rituals. As the holidays fast approaching and we activate memories of better times with Loved ones...I can not help but selfishly say a prayer for you and others we have lost along our journey. Your impact on me has been transformative and sometime paralyzing. Time is suppose to be the great healer and equalizer...and I appreciated the education...but..I had hoped for more familiar classmates to talk theory...like YOU. You are painfully missed but never forgotten. Sail on! RIP....ELW

Wow! September 11th has come and gone! 20 years has past and the memories are still painful. Just like with you...Time is just the stream we all swim in. Each day I attempt to be of some service or positive reflection to my fellow human...yet with each day I envy your passing. Your tender reactionary Italian nature would have put you at odds with the current images. Optimism is a rare commodity...but I recall your wise sage like words....."you know what???chicken butt". Take it all in stride and count my blessings. Jan1st 2022 will be a full six years...hey,memo to myself..get an eye exam. Kiddo...I still miss you..I stress less with you in my corner. ELW

The navigation of Life continues and time seems to sneak up on me. Memorial Day is upon us..media blares the remorse we have for our veterans. The importance is the connection to the past and the anchor to our future. I attempt to exist in the present...but my stakes in the past is still so vivid. Quentin..I still carry a torch for you...and I know you are in a better place. Thank You for your service..all the best to you.....ELW

May 18th...just wanted to touch base. On a cyclical basis I've had very vivid dreams about you...well, really about us. Perhaps the moon cycle or maybe that this is in your Zodiac (Taurus) field?? I try to keep an open mind about these flair-ups,as enjoyable as they are. The dread and melancholy adds to the event. I've found the best way to honor your memory is to move ahead. I've wallowed long enough in the despair of your passing. Wisdom demands that Life honor the nature of the universe....things are not beautiful because they endure....but, the beauty is in the Love it generates and inspires. You have taught me so much......Thanks!! Your student ELW

Talk about the 7 year itch! It is hard to believe that that much time has elapsed. The memories are still there as bright and as indelible as ever. I'm afraid you would be upset with the way our present world has turned out..with your naive ways and manners. But i do hope you are somewhere watching and adding a prayer for a better place. Hoping your coming birthday will be a happy moment for all who remember you....Always...ELW

January 22nd..I have attempted to thread the needle since 2014...and because of your example..."We" have survived a very turbulent time with some degree of grace and insight. I am thankful that you are beyond this pale...fore as this old world spins on..you were spared the shock of what our U.S. has come to. I struggle to keep the faith and ferret out the good and understanding in our future generation. I find daily...that I miss you more and value this era less. 75 years older...but I fear..a lot less wiser. Happy Birthday,indeed!!!ELW

A Happy New Year hello to all Quint's friends from his baby brother Charlie. I'm the last of 5 Benedetti siblings now enjoying good health in my 88th year and still kicking butt. Back in the 60's I used to visit Quint when he lived in Toluca Lake and enjoyed listening to stories of his work with Agnes Morehead, his musical opus " Topsie", and a 1001 other episodes of the typical outrageous humor that characterized him from my earliest childhood memories when we grew up together in a little house in Mt. Vernon, Ohio. Of the 5 of us, Quint and I were the closest in personality type. He could keep me laughing for hours with stories of how he tormented the nuns at our St. Vincent parochial school. He could never keep from getting into trouble it seemed, which he explained as being addicted to just being his different Self - - - - and being different he was ! And it is this unique difference, I'm sure, that attracted so many good friends after he moved out to Calif.
And to all of you now reading these words I greet you in his memory and want to thank Edward especially for the bundle of Quint's pictures and memories you sent me a decade ago. That was very thoughtful of you. Thank you. Being a graphologist, when I first caught sight of your handwriting, I was in awe at what it revealed - - - and if you're at all curious to know, just drop me a note) .
With that I'll close out by wishing good health and a year of joy and laughter to all of you in 2921. ...................Charlie

January first is fast approaching...it's been 2192 days... counting 2 leap years and nights since you left your physical foot prints in the sand. Time is fluid and forgiving..not like this fragile flesh...yet, I must bend to its' weight. At 75 years old, I dream of better times and long lost friends. 2021 I hope offers smooth sailing and many rewarding memories. You..my comrade, will always linger in my memories and dreams. Night,night sweet cheeks...Love...ELW.

Thanksgiving day 2020....C'est La Vie...time has slipped thru my fingers,like sand thru a hour glass. Each grain holding gossamer images of you...all good...all magic. In these trying times, I do fine a degree of solace in my encounters with you and your extended family. California was that magical place...that suited you and your mind set. Thanks for the invitation and for allowing me to share a bit of the Benedetti experience. All in all...time was very generous to us both. The journey was and is unforgettable..by the Spirits that be....THANKS!!!

Sept. 13th.....I have yet to become comfortable with the loss,even though I profess to have evolved from your departure. Time is suppose too heal all wounds....and the check is in the mail!!The vacancy in my soul has not been filled or rented in these years. I've made friends and associates...yet I failed to find that "Zing" with anyone else. Perhaps by design or but default. And as my 75th birthday rolls around..I kind of hope for failing health or perhaps some dementia to set in to... hasten my chances of being in your fantastic company. Because I share a vision of a much better place than this in the afterlife. So, I count the moments......You are Always remembered!...ELW

Thank you for your service..... You would hardly recognize your world today, as I sure my parents would shake their heads in puzzlement. To think I would have experienced the 21st century at this point in time. I, all too often think what words of wisdom you would impart to me in this situation. You were always the "magic man"...your perspective had a sanity and impish wit that eased the harshness of life's journey. Too few celebratory holidays remind me of your passing. While I attempt to live every day with you in my thoughts, time and old age robs me of my resolve. This memorial day I just wanted to say a proper...Thanks!....Love Always...ELW

Almost the end of March 2020...your birth month is coming up in April. You have been on my mind recently...more than the average. The world is such a different place from when you recall.

Some wise man once said..."A heart never broken, is pristine and sterile and will never know the joy of being imperfect". In the years I have learned to be kinder to myself...I'll not lamenting what could have been or for that matter, what will be. 2020 has taught me that my Masters or Phd was given to me by the people that I have Loved and cared for. Old age has awakened some of the grace and humility I so sorely needed in my youth. Quentin Joseph Benedetti thank you for all of the support,laughter and Love...I will always be eternally grateful to have been charmed and educated by you. ELW

Xmas and New Years will always hold a special time for me. With a mix of cheer and regret. Another holiday passes without the echo of your laugh and the comfort of kind nature. This has been twice this month I've clocked in. I try and not be so reactionary but...blame it on old age. To wish for a Time machine for Xmas would be too extravagant...so I guess I have to be content with my faded photos from the past. We all miss you.....Always remember that. Merry Xmas!!!ELW

Time...the great equalizer. While I tend to live in the moment ...the past always seems to hoover in the background. Sunflowers and strawberries spark pleasant memories. Oddly enough, the wail of ambulance sirens gives me pangs of regret. Luckily my dreams at night give me the most pleasure. Always too short, but nevertheless vivid. You always appear happy and in some impish behavior. So I count my blessings and toddle along my daily chores...knowing you are in some place safe and remote....and always Loved. Happy New Year!!ELW

Several weeks before Labor day....already!!One hundred million miracles are sent to you today...you are missed, yet never forgotten.Each day brings us closer to a reunion. Your laughter and mirth still haunts me. The heart is indeed a lonely hunter. I know you keep a close watch..only because my health is still strong for my seventy five years. I live in hope and dream of sharing some quality time in your company...someday. Love...ELW

Every day I seem to recall different aspects of your being. I attempt to be as aware and in the moment as possible,since your passing. Counting each day..plus the leap day in 2016...as a testament to my resolve to try to carry on. Fearing change only weakens my chance of joy and fulfillment...so, I meander on, with hopes of my end reward. You, Mr. Benedettti was such a rare find...that seldom found artifact of myth and wonder. Part fact and fantasy...like Big Foot or the Lochness monster. But, I live in hopes to run across another of life's little treasures some day. Because I believe truly....If Love could have saved you..you could have lived forever. Thanks so much!!ELW

Just noticed that your birthday falls on Easter this year. You would have been a mature 93 years young. Oddly enough time has not diminished the image of your smile and generosity. The world spins on, but your memory will always endure. I only wish that in some way you will return to spread more humor and mischief. Thanks....and an early Happy Birthday. ELW

As your birthday approaches in April...I thought I better sign in,less I let my mind wonder and forget. Plus this gives me more time to reflect on our past relationship. Karma was very good to both of us..allowing us many years of interaction and bliss."What you do today doesn't affect yesterday...yesterday remains perfect." As we are all said to be unique in our own way...you,my friend.... was the jewel in the crown. Thanks for being a guiding light in my present everyday life. I was given an offer I could not refuse and I am happier for it......Love....ELW

Today I had an epiphany!!!!The miracle to be reborn with each day has finally revealed...through my apparent loss of you. Quentin. I eventually surmised that thru all of the varied encounters with supposed "Strangers"..( RANDOM CHILDERN TALKING TO ME UNEXPECTEDLY..waving.smiling. Lucky moments in traffic..,music..,seeing someone from the back that looked exactly like you..but, alas was not. These are all your clever disguises to stay in touch with me. Some sort of cosmic shorthand. Balance!,Symmetry!,..Peace!. I've come to understand, you are never distant..but always painfully near. Love is an instrument of choice. Closure is survival!!....Faulkner wrote.."the past is never dead...it's not even past" Thanks..ELW

Quentin...you cast a long shadow....still to this day. Xmas and New Years has always been a bittersweet time for me. Yet, I always think you are still incorporated in each daily effort I attempt. I hope wherever you happen to reside you know that so many of us miss you.....and save a place by your side, to wrap your wings around me. Because I understand there is no tears in heaven.....Love....ELW

Here again... another October buttermilk moon and my thoughts turn to you. My resiliency has been amazing...being happy and cheerful again has been a labor...but a man's temperament is born in him and no circumstances can ever change that. So, I happily write my thoughts of ..Us. You were the quintessential teacher and student and I thank you each day.for your life lessons. Your confidence and optimistic slant helped me through many a circumstance. At 71yrs young I hope to be able to reflect back on my life and smile and laugh at our star crossed connection. I don't fear death...for I was dead for millions of years before I was born and it never inconvenienced me one bit. Thanks for taking the time to fall to earth and be my friend.......LOVE....ELW

On this Memorial Day circa 2018.....To say ,thank you for your service..would be a serious understatement. ...Not only, were you a pillar of my life..you will always be that eternal footnote in my decline. You set the bar awfully high. All I can do is.... strive.....Thanks!...ELW

On this day, your dad and mom were blessed with the arrival of.....the more than human ,yet less than devine....Quinto Child. The all seeing,all knowing being with the gift of musical prowess and a wicked sense of humour. Happy Birthday!!!! Three years and counting...and the memories are still vivid and a bit raw. Reincarnation is always a nice thought...but, I understand...there could only be One...never, to be repeated. Like the uniqueness of a snowflake...perfect, fleeting and cold. Another winter will return and I will always think of you......Always....ELW.

Time is such a enigma!!Each day I have attempted to be mindful of my blessings. Health, limited sanity,shelter and most of all memory. Those little shards of idyllic thoughts of being in your crazy warm company. Too much me and not enough YOU. As April draws near I feel the crush of loss anew...but, as time has shown me....I will continue to value our fleeting blissful connection from days gone by. As the song plays..."When will I see you again?"..I continue to count the days and years.....I look forward to better days.......ELW

..Me again!!At this season of thanks and reflection..I should give overdue praise to our benefactor and friend, Kurt Jungerheld. Because he was beyond a doubt the binding thread to our imperfect union. As I think back..Kurt was (and is) the secret formula to our happy trinity. Both guide and participant in our lives adventures. Strong, tanned,mischievous..always up for a drive or good natured banter...be it, Mt. Soledad, San Diego Fair, wind turbine farms in Palms Springs or the infamous hotel Providencia...he added so much to my new life in Oceanside. Just let me acknowledge his gravitas and mirth to a truly everlasting friendship. Quentin was a father-figure to you and you, a brother, from another mother..to me...."Arthur"...you have my thanks..and his Love.!!...Merry Xmas....ELW

December 1,2017...Another year draws to a close....and I count my blessings. "Be thankful for what you have..you'll end up enjoying more" a wiser man, once told me!! To the living,I am gone. To the sorrowful, I will never return. To the angry, I was cheated...But to the happy, I am peace, And to the faithful, I have never left. Remember me in your heart, your thoughts, your memories of the times we loved, the times we cried, the times we fought,and most of all...the times we laughed. For if you always think of me, I will never be truly Gone......With grace and gratitude I dream and remember.......Thanks...ELW

Here we go again...Oct.7th...The autumn moon is hung bright and alabaster in the night sky. And my thoughts turn to you....wise, stern and mercurial. This will be the third year of your absence...at least physically. Each day I try to donate some of your lifespark into the friends I encounter and this vacant life I lead. To be missed is understandable...but to be forgotten is forbidden. Stay strong and I'll be watchful......Yours,Always...ELW

...Estimated 831 days..of thinking of and mouthing the words of...life according to Quentin Benedetti. Another trigger happened..as I happen to hear "Put the loot in the boot"...and realized that you were and are such a treasure..... Music is such a transending medium....mathematics, language, illusion,continuity...all of this encapsulates..You. As I view the world.thru eyes focused thru lenses of appreciation. I have come to realize that my life is a gift from my association with your ever changing spirit. As Mothers day and Fathers day rolls around....I have come to the conclusion that...we All give to each other what is needed most...the need to be connected....and I feel that eternal connection to You......I appreciate this daily... thru Music. Thanks for the smiles...ELW

Today ..like many others..I had one of my cascade moments...While going about my mundane chores of shopping....I happen to catch a glance of two young lads of underterminded age acting out in the bakery isle. With pyrimids of displayed confectionary delights........then without warning.....a display began to topple.....!!Shades of Laurel and Hardy!!!!....or I should say Quentin and Curtis....The moment struck me so funny, that I began to laugh non-stop like some Looney Tune character. Oddly enough, the kids thought it a hoot that they mad some silly ol" git laugh..that they continued to knock down more food stuffs. I instantly thought and envisioned YOU. The unflabbable Quentin J. Benendetti in all his pomp and bluster....Life, i guess, will offer up little jems to remind me...that You are always with me....I laugh, I cry....I remember!!!! Thanks...ELW..P.S...Curtis..you kown who you are!!!(LOL)

Sorry but 2016 has been eerie to say the least.......Today, I passed someone in the Mall and inhaled the signature aroma of "Aqua Fesca".....Your!!!cologne. I spun around to locate the culprit...but the crowd had moved on. That particular moment of recognition was enough to last me the rest of the day. I have come to harbor the fact....that no human being truly dies...we just have to be aware of the mercurial threads and triggers that are left us. I try and feel your presence everyday....Thanks for being in my life.....ELW

It is comming up on the two year milestone.....reflections and thanksgivings are the avatars I bring away from this journey. In a somewhat perfect society we would live and love forever. A fantasy for sure, but an illusion I have nurtured since 2013...But, as I oftened told you..."Come down from the cross, mother, we need the wood"..This Life isn't about me...but, about the people we touch and perpetuate some loving craziness. You are a bright beacon for me to emulate. Missing you has turned into a pleasure.....Always yours.....E>

No real reason to write other than to feel connected tonite. I was going through a few of your mementos I happen to hoard as the shrine to St. Benendetti. And looking back,I cannot accurately recall any of the totems you heaped upon me. Worldly, material things...things you deemed important at the time, yet my value mechanism went back to the Time you gave me. You were so extravagant with your humor, your voice, your energy. Your shared creativity was lavished upon me so often...and has taken me NOW.... after all this time to really appriciate this. Maybe this is the sense of order in the universe...revalation after the fact????Wherever you are.......I give thanks to the ..Maestro. Always...ELW...P.S...Quinto what makes your big head so wise???(that's a little inside joke)...:)
