I was totally saddened and very surprised to hear of Benjamin passing. I met him in 1970 while attending TN State Univ. He was clearly a gentleman and a Christian at that time. He invited me to a church service and one time a gospel concert. I will always remember his kind smile and humble mannerism. My condolences go to his wife, children the grand and great- grandchildren. You now have beautiful memories to carry you daily.
May God uplift you as he does know best.
