My heart goes out to Gussie, JoAnn, Raymond, Marie, grandchildren, and great grandkids. Benny Charles was very down-to-earth, unpretentious, and just a super nice person! Not being from this area, Benny and his whole family have always made me feel very comfortable and welcome. Becky, our kids, and I will miss him with many fond memories!
