Not sure what to say?

I would like to send my warmest regards to Lisa, Alex and Rachel. Bennet was a wonderful friend and a superb lawyer. I miss him and think of him often. We would always spend time together at ABA meetings and I always looked forward to seeing him. Bennet and I were actually on the ABA Young Lawyers Division Consumer Financial Services Committee back in the late 1970's so we developed a friendship that lasted decades. I remember way back when at the time he was interviewing with David...

Keeping the family lifted in prayers. May God continue to comfort you.

Keeping his memory alive. What a wonderful thing. RIH Mr. Bennet.

Marc Lifset introduced me to Bennet at a conference in Chicago in the '90s. I observed the two bantering with one another, and couldn't help laughing at them. This is the way they were, every time and everywhere I met with them over the years, including at the many McGlinchey Stafford conferences that I attended. I could see that they were the best of friends, and in many ways like two school age kids who couldn't get enough of one another. But they were the best lawyers you could get!...

Condolences to Bennet's family and to his extended work family. I had the privilege of dealing with Bennet for many years on behalf of First National Bank USA and attended many of his seminars over the years. He definitely listened more than he spoke however when he spoke, he spoke volumes. I have always had tons of respect for him. May the memories of Bennet keep him alive in your heart forever.

to the family

I send my condolences on the loss of a friend and husband and may his memory be a blessing .

To Bennet's family,
Like many others, I was taken aback upon learning of his illness earlier, and now obviously saddened by his passing. I need not address his professional skill, as his record of accomplishments speaks for itself. My interactions with Bennet came about primarily through our joint participation in the American Bar Association (ABA) activities, but my fondest memory of him involved my very first visit to an ABA meeting in New Orleans in the mid-1980s when Bennet and I were...

Lisa, Alex & Rachel: I like many others had the pleasure of working with Bennet at McGlinchey Stafford. He was sharp and he was tough, but his droll humor was the most memorable of his qualities to me. I was saddened to hear of his passing--it is a loss for all of us who knew him in the profession but most of all for you. My family and I offer up our prayers and deepest sympathies to your family at this time. Godspeed Bennet.

Dear Lisa, Alex and Rachel, There are so many memories of laughter and smiles. His passing is difficult to fathom. Bennet said to me and others, so often, "wait, start from the beginning." I don't know whether Bennet would want to start from the beginning now; he lived a full life with a beautiful family and dear friends. To the Squid. Love, Deborah Robertson
