I was a fellow graduate and friend of Benny's. We lived together for 4 years in the early 90's along with Tom sheridan, in Tom's house in Minneapolis. Benny was one of the nicest people I have ever known. He was always in a good mood, and would help you out whenever you would ask. I had just talked to him for the first time since Tom Sheridan's funeral 12 years ago, a few weeks back, and we were looking forward to getting together again this spring. I am glad I at least got to talk to him before his all to soon death. He will always be in my thoughts. Denis T. Martin
