Not sure what to say?

I just learned of Bennett’s passing, and I’m deeply moved and saddened. He was a dear friend, and was also my late husband, Kerry Anderson‘s best friend. He and his wife, Michelle often went with us to different events, such as to hear local music, to attend Vanderbilt basketball games, to dinner, and so much more. Kerry frequently met him for lunch, while working at the Gospel Advocate. We especially loved going to their home every summer in Anna Maria Island. What incredible memories, in...

Bumpy was a Sigma Chi brother at Vandy. He often came by our country convenience store on Lake Barkley and visited with us. Great guy!

I just found out about this.I just want tou to know I didn't know him long but we got along very well I would sit and talk to him about football and planes out side he was a very nice man

Bennett was such a loving person to be near. He would make you laugh and smile. I enjoyed working with him so much during my time at Ambrose Printing. So sorry to hear of his passing. Wishing the family condolences and prayers.

So sad to hear of Bennett’s passing. I was lucky to spend time with Bennett and Michelle over the years and have fond memories of all those times. Bennett’s wit and big heart were special.

Special condolences to Ben and Lori who took such good care of Bennett in recent times, especially after Michelle passed. I’m glad you had that time with him and I hope it will provide you comfort in the months and years to come.

He was a very good guy! Love working with him at Ambrose printing Co.

Time spent with Ben was always a pleasure. He enjoyed being with family and shared his gift of friendship with everyone. I still treasure the beautiful walking stick he made me.

For years Michelle and Bennett (Bumpy) would stay at my home on their way through Atlanta to their beach house on Anna Maria Island. During those visits we celebrated birthdays, holidays and life. Those memories will always hold a special place in my heart. Rest in peace my friends.

Michelle, so sorry to hear about Bennet. Sending love and prayers to you and your family. We had such good times together at Vandy games and tailgating. Give the family hugs for me. Love you ❤
