Obituary
Ronald Gene Benjamin, 69, of Coto de Caza, California, passed away, Tuesday, March 25th, 2014.
Ron was born September 18, 1944 in Oakland City, IN to Gene and Anna Belle (Bratton) Benjamin. He graduated from Ben Davis High School in 1962 and attended the University of Indiana after an honorable discharge from the army. In 1977 he founded Sports Display, a specialty advertising company that flourished for over 30 years. He lead a very active life participating a variety of activities including boating, both snow and water skiing, golf, tennis, racquetball, riding motorcycles in the street and off-road. He was very down to earth but enjoyed the finer things in life. He loved to attend his grandchildren’s sporting events and the socializing with family and friends over a barbeque in the back yard.
Ron is survived by two sons, two daughters and five grand children, his wife Joan and his mother Anna Belle and numerous aunts, uncles, nephews and nieces. He was preceded in death by his father Gene and his brother Dave.

I would like to express my condolences at this time to your family. The Bible is a great source of encouragement at times like this. A comforting thought is at Revelation 21:3,4, where it states “…And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry be anymore the former things have past away”. This scripture gives us hope for the future! You can also find comfort in Acts 24:15 – Death does not end it all. May Jehovah bring you comfort and peace during this difficult time.

Ron was a man who made a difference. He was a man with a vision and a person of integrity, compassion for others and strength in his convictions. He impacted my life in a wonderful way and gave Pal and I an opportunity to better ourselves and others. There are few people in life that walk the walk. Ron was one of those people. He will be missed.
