Not sure what to say?

He will be remembered and we will see him and hear his music again
And He will wipe every tear from their eye and death will be no more

I did not know Benny but learned about his passing this week. To his family and friends, please accept my condolences; I mourn for your loss. It sounds like Benny was bright, talented, kind and humorous - the perfect blend. May you hold him in your hearts forever.

God blessed me with the most precious child 36 years ago. Every tear I am shedding now for this unbearable loss will never take away the years of pleasure he gave me when his sweet soul graced this earth. He will forever live on in my heart and the hearts of all who loved him.

I don't know Benny, but the story of this loss really broke my heart when I read it and heard some of his Jazz music. God has a new angel to Jazz away in heaven.

Heartfelt condolences at this senseless loss. He was my son's clarinet teacher and one of the nicest persons we knew.

Our hearts are broken after learning of the tragic loss of Benny last Saturday. For Benny's family, know that everyone he connected with through his music is also suffering. He truly was special and we will look for his star shining bright in the sky and listen closely to still hear his beautiful music.

We are so sorry to hear about Benny. He was such a positive role model for so many. My son was in his ensemble class and was always talking about Benny. He was such a warm, helpful, talented musician. We are so sorry for your loss. We will always remember him and how he touched our lives. My sons will remember his music video on the beach always....

As a student of Benny for more than 4 years, I am shocked and deeply saddened to hear of his passing. Benny taught me how to play the alto and tenor sax, and I am grateful for everything he taught me. I will miss him.
