I WILL REMEMBER HIM AND HIS SMILE. MAY GOD BLESS HIS SOUL.

To the Benko Family
I was sorry to hear of the passing of your husband/father. He was my dentist for about 25 years and I always got along with him. This year was the 31st anniversary of my mother's death and I just want to express this to you; feel fortunate for having him in your lives as long as your did. He was a great man and will be dearly missed by all.

Kip, Denise, Mrs. Benko and family,
My deepest sympathy for your loss. I feel privileged to have met Dr. Benko and fondly recall him as such a remarkable man. I'll never forget Dr. Benko's energy and enthusiasm helping Denise staff the dental box booth at the ACEP meeting, chatting it up with the participants, grinning from ear to ear.

Mrs Benko and family,
So sorry to hear of the loss of Dr Benko. He was an awesome dentist and knew that I didn't like shots so we went without and he would always tell me when the hurt was going to come. And then it was over. And he always wore the nicest ties! I wonder who picked them out??? Please be assured that you will be in my thoughts and prayers. May God give you the strength you need to learn to live without your loved one. Sincerely, Ethel T Cunningham

Dear Mrs. Benko and boys,
I was sorry to hear about Dr. Benko passing. He was a wonderful neighbor, dentist and man. I appreciated the years of him plowing snow for the neighborhood, especially in front of the Dow house. There is a special place in heaven for him.

Dear Eleanor & Family, Dr. Bob was our all time favorite family dentist. We were among his first patients when he opened his practice in Ebensburg. As our 6 children moved about the country, they have received only positive remarks re' their dental care. We loved to chat with Bob, when possible, on our daily church visits & lately when you were both in the car. God bless. You all remain in our daily prayers. Adrian & Emma Baylock
