Brad and Family,
I want to express to you my sadness over Benny's recent passing. I remember fondly his beating my tail at horseshoes at the beach during our high school years. He taught me how to throw a mean shoe. He was a good man. I appreciated that he and Nancy always welcomed me into your home. I wish all of your family comfort during this difficult time. I will keep you all in my prayers. Bob
