His distinctive gesture of greeting each student with a handshake at every class meeting spoke volumes about his warmth and personal connection. Professor Benson not only opened my eyes to the richness of Lorca's work but also exemplified unwavering dedication. Legend has it that he once used a boat to reach campus during a flood, highlighting his commitment to education. We will always remember a great human being who concluded every conversation with a heartfelt smile. In honoring his legacy, let us carry forward the spirit of dedication, and kindness that defined Professor Benson's life. Muchas gracias Profesor Benson.

He had passion for teaching and a great dedication to his students, many of whom kept in touch with him long after graduation. I was grateful to have him visit Vancouver in the Summer of 2015, and I enjoyed catching up with his stories and anecdotes from my time at KState. I am certain that he has impacted the lives of many students and his legacy will remain forever. I still remember him playing the guitar and singing “De colores” to us in class or other gatherings. He will remain a truly dear professor with an enormous heart and the biggest smile. Gracias por todo, Dr. Benson. El cielo está de fiesta cantando con usted esa canción que tanto le gustaba! Con cariño,

Laura Villalba (Levera) desde Vancouver, BC
