It was a pleasure and honor to know Mr. Benton, he always had an encouraging word to say to me when I was first starting out in my business, he also assisted me in staying positive when I thought of giving up working for myself. He will be missed. Rick

Dear Roxan and family.. just saw the wonderful photos from Bill showing him and Blanche at different times during their life.. and it brought fond memories back for us also. We vividley remember some of the photos taken.. be it in France, England or the US.. as we were also present at these occasions. What a wonderful and stylish couple they were always representing the Ford motor Company always so well.. only a few executives were able to do so!!! Thank you for sharing these photos with us… udo and marion from portugal
What a wonderful tribute to such a wonderful and deserving man. He touched so many lives, including mine and he will be sadly missed but so fondly remembered by all that had the pleasure of knowing him. My 21 years working for him were so fulfilling and it was indeed an honor to have shared those years with him and his wonderful family.
Bill was the most courageous man I have ever known and lived life to the fullest. His zest for life was evident each and every day.
