Ron embraced the College, Dow Academy  and his students so passionately. As someone on the outside of the theater I was in awe by the magnitude and devotion of his following, as well as the spirit he brought to the community through his love of the art. .

So sorry to hear that Ron has passed on. What a great influence he was for all of us. I loved him and will all ways be in his debt for what he taught me about the theater and life.

Ron's personality was so vibrant that even his casual advice, an actor he liked and wanted me to know about, for example, is still fresh in my memory. Sadly missed, but will never be forgotten.

Whatever physical stagecraft I Have as an actor,I Owe to Ron Bennett. He gave me my voice,my speech,my movement.my life. He was a forceful presence,but sensitive and kind. He didn't have a selfish bone in his body. It was an honor to work for him and with him in the North Country Players. He made Shakespeare even more exciting,then the Bard already is. He Grounded me in the work.and in life. I love him,I miss him,and I'll never forget him.

Ron has been probably the most influential person in my life.  While I can credit a number of people for teaching me or providing me with opportunities to expand my horizons, he is definitely at the top of the list.  Though I did not follow a path solely in theatre, as a number of my classmates did, his emphasis on always giving your best in everything you do was truly a life-changer for me.  I will always miss him, and am sorry that I was not able to see him one more time to let him know the effect his teaching had on me.  His greatness was felt by many.

Ron was an amazing man. It was an honor and privilege to have known him and studied under his guidance. I learned so much from Ron. I am so very sorry to learn of his passing.

My late husband, Frederick (Rick) Arend studied under Ron Bennett.  Rick thought highly of Ron and learned so much from him.  As Rick's loving wife of 31 years, I never had the pleasure of meeting Ron, but in many ways to hear Rick talk about Ron, I know he was an awesome person.

My prayers and heartfelt sympathy go out to Ron's family.

To work under Ron Bennett's direction was to be in the light of greatness. He truly was a genius. He inspired so many. He was loved, feared, respected and admired. He was reclusive, a mystery man, but generously shared his heart and soul with his students. I adored him.

I never had Ron for a teacher but watching him and listening to him was always a wonderful experience. I always marveled at how much he influenced those around him and how lucky they were to have him as a teacher and a mentor. A great human being

Ron Bennett was a man of remarkable character, truly larger than life.  It is with great sadness that I learned of his passing. He was a great teacher, and someone I was fortunate to have known. He will remain in my thoughts forever.

Ron was always pleasant and cordial to me, even though I was not one of his students; then one day he approached me and asked me if I would install a new lighting console for the theater. It was during this time that I had the pleasure of discovering how marvelously generous and nurturing he was to me and everyone. Of all the teachers I had or knew at Franconia College, Ron is the only one whose life lessons are still with me today. Thank you, Ron.

Ron's passion and commitment to theater and his students was very special.  Anyone who worked with him could not help being inspired by his talent, vision and humanity.

I was very lucky to have been a student. Not only taught me theater, but help to give me insight to what I was capable of.  I will miss him and will think of him often.

Mr Bennett was a great influence in so many young lives. He was a wonderful teacher -and amazing man. For those of us who studied under him, what he gave us was a gift that I personally use daily. He will always be remembered by the lives he touched along his path.

I was one of his theater students at Franconia College. Ron was a remarkable teacher of theater and of life. He was forthright and uncompromising. He was a great influence to so many...I am honored to have been one of them.

Ron had a profound influence on my life. He was in so many ways a remarkable man.
