Dear Bensinger Family (especially my childhood friends Bob Jr and Gregg):
It was with great sorrow I read "Mr B's" obituary this morning. While I was never on a regular season baseball team he coached, I remember learning more about baseball from him in two practices on an all-star team than I had learned in the previous 5 years. Never quite outgrew that phase of childhood and still remember the tips he gave me every time I come to bat or round a base (really I do). As an adult, I joined the same golf club as Mr. B (in spite of his insisting I call him Bob, it just never seemed quite right for me so we both agreed Mr. B would suffice). We often shared beers at meetings and reminisced about the 60's as well as what lousy golfers we were. I've missed his company at the club the last few years. Best wishes to you all.
Warmly,
Steve Olesiuk
