Benson Sr. Survived by his 3 sisters, Sherry Benson McInnis, Rebecca Benson Morley, Deborah Benson Vann; daughter, Melissa Jane Benson; son, Robert Louis Benson III and all those who cherish the sound of a well broken 9-ball rack or the roar of a single engine plane careening down the runway with sights on the sky.
