Benjamin was my brother-in-law. In 1966, I went to California to pursue my MBA degree in UC Berkeley. Benjamin picked me up at airport and let me stay at their home. Then he drove me to Berkeley to register into the university. next day, he helped me to find the apartment where I shared with other schoolmates. He assisted me in settling into the school. During the school years, I spent time with him, my sister and my two nephews at their home almost every weekend. We were very close to each other. I enjoyed every moment with them. Benjamin was a very nice and kind person, and a family man as well as a hard-working person. He always put his family first. He and my sister raised two wonderful sons. He should be proud of himself having been such a good father.

I have known Ben Liu since 1966 when I was a graduate student at Berkeley. For several years, my wife and I saw Ben and his family almost every week at his home in San Francisco. I was able to see his kindness, generosity, and sincerity first hand. He was a family man who dedicated his life to his family. He held several jobs and worked so incredibly hard in order for his two sons to receive the best education from Stanford and Berkeley.

I will miss his friendship and his cooking. It was so delicious.

One of the fondest memories I have of my Uncle Ben is of an afternoon we spent together fishing on a pier in SF Bay when I was about 5 years old. It was my first time fishing and he got me a brand new, lightweight spinning rod for the occasion. He also put the bait on for me, helped me to cast, and took the one small fish I caught off the hook for me so I didn't have to touch it. We fished for several hours that day, but didn't have much other success catching. Just as we were about to pack up, I had a big tug on my line. I was too short to see over the railing while hanging onto the rod, but Uncle Ben excitedly told me I'd caught the biggest crab he'd ever seen! Uncle Ben cheered me on but hauling up the huge crab soon became too difficult for me and I had to have him take over. Unfortunately, my light tackle couldn't handle the weight and the line snapped. We lost the crab but gained a great fish tale which we laughingly regaled the family with later. I remember vividly Uncle Ben's buoyant energy, enthusiasm and good humor that day (and pretty much every time I ever saw him). Looking back, I appreciate the generosity and kindness he showed me, then and always. I will miss him very much.
