Dear Norm - Yes! Of course! He will be thrilled to see it being shared - I am certain he is still here with us in some fashion. I suggest you download the iPod version - and if you have any issues at all please let me know and I will send you a high quality version directly. (Keeping in mind I filmed this with a little handheld camera, and not our usual "rig."

Dear Rox, We would like to honor your father in our own small way as an enthusiast club for one of the Ford cars he managed while GM at L-M Division. I was researching your father's life, and then came upon this wonderful video. May we have permission to show it at our annual banquet this Labor Day? What a great guy, so wonderful you did the video for "us" to benefit from! Norm

Roxanne and family--Bill was kind friend to me and to many other doctors at Henry Ford Medical Group in Detroit. He was among our most enthusiastic cheerleaders, and as "the bionic man", his courage and optimism inspired all of us. I shared the "Beachwalk" video with our senior leadership. It will be shared with many others. Bill's advice is timeless....never more so than now.

Wise words from someone who has seen a lot of the world and it's best (and worst) conditions. I appreciate being able to see your dad's message and some of his interaction with his old buddies (in the morning coffee episode). Peace be unto your family, Rox.

roxy, as the "lawyer guy" (your dad's words) from the coffee group, he was a wonderful guy, a pleasure to work with and one of the smartest people I have ever met. I am so sorry he is gone, but what a great life.All the best.

I remember this episode from last year. I was impressed and uplifted then and I still am today. I only hope that I can keep his attitude throughout the rest of my life. May he rest in peace.

Rox, I just loved listening to your Dad! I wish he were closer to I could meet him. His outlook on life is what I wish to do. My thought is "smile, pass it on, it can make someone's day"! WE have a choice as he said, when we wake up. WE make our day. It is how we react to things that change things. Be positive! I know, sounds so easy but really, it can be. Life is a Wonderful thing and as he said if we have our family and good friends we are the richest of all!!

I loved hearing your Dad's words. He seems like a really cool person that I would love to hang out with.

My husband's career is moving us to Oahu! We currently live in Atlanta. I'm excited (and overwhelmed!) with our change. I'm enjoying your beachwalks. They are making me feel like I already 'know' some nice people in HI already. Keep up the great work.

Dear Roxie: Bob and I had the pleasure of meeting your parents this past November. We were immediately captivated by this kind and beautiful couple, so full of life. Since then we have shared a few dinners together, and met ALL the daughters, and three of the grandchildren. It is obvious that Bill and Blanche Benton are great role models and that their remarkable traits "continue" into the next generation(s)!
