I enjoyed working with Benny and following his racing career. I was the Service Director at Bob Schmidt. I'm sorry I will be unable to attend the services as I will be out of town, but I will keep the family in my thoughts and prayers. God bless, John Schaller

We raced with Benny in the American wing outlaw series throughout the Southeast, Georgia Alabama Tennessee North Carolina always a gracious gentleman and a class act it was a privilege to know Benny and may he rest in peace

I still talk about when us kids were little and going with him to race. And the green rv Lol! And then him introducing me to Bob Keslowski.
RIP grandpa

I remember Benny very well. We worked together at Bob Schmidt Chevrolet for 30 years. He was always talking about his racing experiences in Toledo Raceway. I am glad that we had the chance to work together and to share a few laughs and comments of our good times with these we worked with. I am so sorry to have another one of my friends depart.

I recall watching Benny race at Toledo Raceway Park and Toledo Speedway in the late 1950's.
RIP
