Mr. Jenkins was an exceptional teacher at Riverview Jr. High. He always spoke words of wisdom. He taught many students about the strategies of a challenging chess game. May God carry and comfort you during this time.

To the Family of Bennie Jenkins
I was a childhood friend of Bennie's at LaRose Elementary School in Memphis, and also a graduate of the BTW class of 1957. Bennie and I were often called upon to perform duets at LaRose, and we became real buddies. Rosetta,I am so grateful that I had an opportunity to meet you at our 50th class reunion in 2007, and to catch up and reminisce with Bennie about the "good old days." As we celebrate his life, we sadly say goodbye to that magnificent tenor...

To the family of Bennie Lee Jenkins:
I also was a member of the BTW Class of 1957. So I knew Bennie as an outstanding classmate and an incredibly talented singer. It was a blessing to see him again in 2007 at our 50th high school reunion. May God bless you at this time. May your memories of Bennie sustain you in the days ahead.
