    He was a virtual friend I will miss.
    Thanks for sharing the Sad information Roy.
    His sig always brought a smile and he and I had many chats as I started into my home machining hobbies.
    I own an indexer based on Benz’s recommendation and while we didn’t always agree on whether something could, or should be attempted at home, I always valued his candor, and humour.
    Rest peaceful brother.

    Very sad news indeed. I also only new Benz through the forums, but I think we grow close to one another in spirit because of our similar interests and the dialogue we share.

    So sorry to hear of his passing. My sincere condolences to his family. Like others I remember his distinctive sign off and he was the only other member who admitted to doing a 4 pass shave. May he RIP.

    RIP Benz-I didn't know him like some of you, but I think we all got a good insight into his life and character through your beautiful and moving tribute, Roy. I am sorry for your loss, but you and he were both obviously enriched by your great friendship.

    RIP Benz.
    I chatted once with him and know he was a close friend to Roy. I'm sorry for your loss Roy and to his family. He was a good member in this forum. Thanks for letting us know Roy.
