I was introduced to Benson in Saugeen-Maitland hall in first year by Greg Beatson, a fellow Calgarian who was good friends with his brother Dave. Benson introduced me to Goslings Rum and Bob Marly, both of which were serious passions for the lad and both of which i still enjoy - it’s amazing what bits of people pass on to those we meet. I can still remember him coming down to the Mess Hall to show us the latest thing, that being a single pierced ear with a diamond stud but i am guessing that dropped as he moved up in the Insurance sector.
Greg phoned me last night to tell me the news and we toasted our memories of the UWO times with “Benny”.
I am very sorry to hear this news and my condolences to all of the families.
Regards

Benson was so proud of his children and their weddings were two of the best days of his life.

I am sad and heartbroken about Benson’s passing. He was the glue that kept the 5 of us siblings together. If the phone rang in the morning it was probably Benson wanting to catch up on how our family was doing. I loved his many visits to Calgary and he never missed a family celebration. One of the things I loved most about Benson was his ability to not take things too seriously and laugh at himself, especially when things did not go as planned. The stories are endless! It is difficult when someone we love leaves our lives forever but we are left with wonderful memories. I shall cherish my memories of Benny.
Love, Cindy
This picture was taken at my daughter’s wedding in 2016. It was the last time the 5 of us were together.

We are feeling so much sadness over the loss of our good friend Benson. He was the best man at our Wedding and the best friend anyone could ask for. We will miss his visits and cherish all the special times we shared over the years.
He was a kind and sweet soul. Benson was always happy and positive with everything he faced and everyone he met.
He will be forever in our hearts.
Rest in Peace

These are from our trip to Ireland in the fall of 2022. He was braver than I and kissed the Blarney Stone.

Benny and me in Panama February 2020. Just before COVID shut down the world. Went on an ATV tour. Can’t you see our big smiles. Will miss my brother and travel partner.

Benson and I started our Insurance careers 3 months apart 40 years ago, both fresh out of University. So many memories over the years including ski days at Whistler with his brother Peter and overnight sailboat races on Lake Ontario. Benson gave me so much support and valued advice over the years and I’ll miss him like a brother. This photo was taken this past August up in Collingwood. A few of us (former colleagues) surprised him on his birthday. So many great memories and so hard to believe he is gone.

We met 43 years ago and never missed a beat.
Became Zete brothers and travelled the world together.
Ran rampant in Bermuda and conquered the bomb shelter!
Raised our kids, played golf, skied and enjoyed good times & great friendships.
I will miss the Dolphins games and tailgate party.
I will miss the Leaf games and our texts messages each game cheering them on or calling them bums.
But most of all,
I will miss Benson.
May His Memory be Eternal!
Your Best Friend Forever
