My father Robert High Benson, was a very good man. I am so grateful for his dedication and absolute devotion to his children - biological and non biological. He was a very caring, precise, kind yet strict man who did his best in everything he took interest in. His service with NATO brought him to places that he could not even speak to us about. Germany.... I wish you could tell me more. I would have loved to know ALL the details surrounding my fathers special service, stations and & adventures over seas. If anyone can speak (who knew him and is still alive) please feel free to brief me on what and why he was always sent away from us as children. ********************** Dad...... I love you. So SO much!! More than mere Words can express really. I hold you very deeply in my heart.... everyday. I think about you, not so much in sorrow, but in honour. In love. In unfathomable appreciation. With a deep sense of “knowing” I understand you. I “see” YOU. Thank you for being by my side. Always ready to help me understand this worldly mess intelligently. This life is a mystery.... yet it is not if we would just only stop the clamour in our heads and be STILL. Know God as love unbounded. May we meet again after all is lived and done in the great expanse of Universal unfolding. Love love love..... you. Always and forever. .. ... ..... ........ * Lana - Posted by: Lana Benson (Daughter) on: Apr 04, 2021

There isn't a day that goes by that I miss him so much, even though we were not that close I would try to call him every year for his birthday, cause his birthday was three days after mine. May you rip grandpa and grandma I love you both so much...until we meet again. - Posted by: Khari benson (Grandson) on: Feb 27, 2019
