I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I know what a difficult time you are going through. It is hard to lose a husband and father at such a young age, or any age. My love and prayers are with you.
Bennie was a great leader in Beaumont and especially the shcool district and he will really be missed by all.
God bless you and give you strength.
Love to you all,

Condolences to the family. I worked with Bennie for about 22 years. I wish the best for his family and other friends. Sorry not to be able to attend services, but the thought is sincere.
One statement Bennie made often was "Lead, follow or get out of the way. This was a positive attitude and one I will not forget.
Best to all and make the Holidays something to remember as Bennie would have insisted.
