I was sad to hear of Benny's passing , such a good friend , and to anyone who really knew him he was just that , a good friend . Benny taught me how to play guitar a few years ago and even a lot of other things in life . no-one else seemed to be able to or even cared . Like the Billy Joel song it so often seems " that only the good die young " but I think even closer to TOM T HALL'S song " it could be the good lord loves a little pickin too " [I remember the year Clayton Delainey died ]And yes just like Clayton , BENNY - " who seemed so good to me , never took his guitar and made it down in Tennesee ". Thanks , Benny for everything you ever done for me , JACK

Trampas and Benny Jr-
How sad I was to learn of the loss of your father. When someone you love dies, especially someone as young as your father,it leaves an empty spot in your hearts which could never be filled by any other person. What a wonderful gift we have from god in memories. When you close your eyes, you can remember your dad just as he was, happy and healthy playing the guitar. Soon, in a new world of god's making, all pain, suffering and sickness will be gone forever. Until then, I will keep you both in my thoughts and prayers.
A friend.
