Tonight, we attended the memorial service for the father of a friend of ours. It was a moving service, and though we’d never met Mr. Benson, the stories told about him at the service revealed him to be a warm and caring individual. I’m sure he will be missed by family and those others that knew him.

He was most famous for his 1971 masterpiece Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas but there were many other books, all replete with fast and furious prose.
