Uncle Benny I am going to miss you so much, you were always such a nice man. You and Aunt Cludine were always there for me to talk whenever I needed, and I will cherish all of the times we had together. I wish I could be there now for you Aunt Claudine , but we live so far away and its so expensive to travel that its impossible to get there. I hope you understand

Claudene: I was sorry to hear about Benny's sudden passing. I pray that in the midst of your sadness, you will also find joy as you cherish the memories you and Benny had together. God's word tells us in Matthew 5:4..."Blessed are those who mourn for they will be comforted." May you feel God's arms around you in the coming days and may that be a wonderful comfort that brings you peace.

Uncle, Don, Matt, Carole, Wendy, Joe, Aunt Paula, Uncle Benny

Uncle Benny had a true boxer spirit and a winning smile. Please find comfort knowing he is with the Lord and our beloved family. They are all playing the piano, singing and dancing with the big bands, oh and maybe some wine. We will miss him so much. We are here for you and always will be.
Love to you all,
Joe & Wendy and Da Kids

I was so sorry to hear of Benny's passing. Saturdays just won't be the same anymore at the Ocean View Station Museum, where Benny and Claudene volunteered their time, entertaining both staff and visitors with their vintage stories of Ocean View. Rest easy my friend, you will be dearly missed.
