Born to Joseph and Katarina Babinski, Joe was given the name Benson to shield him from the anti-Catholic sentiment in the United States at the time. The family moved from coal country in Pennsylvania to Detroit, where Benson played semi-pro basketball around the city and across the river in Windsor.
He married Regina Jaworski (1916-1983) in 1935
