Hey, Bennie----I still think of our earlier years and again our later years----you have given me many pleasant memories. I truly miss the Szot family......Say a heavenly prayer for us......Thanks Philip Kellar M.D.

My deepest condolences on your loss. Benny will be missed by all the lives he touched. He had the ability to brighten your day when he would share a story or joke and leave you feeling better for having spoke to him. This was a gift and he shared it gracefully.

Dear Aunt Helen:
We are so sorry to hear that Uncle Benny has gone to his heavenly reward. He was always my (Frank) favorite Uncle and Joan and I always enjoyed seeing you both on your visits to Marco Island. We were so pleased when he was selected to participate in the WW II Honor Flight to Washington DC a couple of years ago. He richly deserved that honor!
Wish that we could be there (we're in California right now) but you all are in our thoughts and prayers. We will offer Mass here...

Dear Helen,Bob,Larry,Dan and family, Please accept our deepest condolences on the passing of Benny. He was a wonderful, caring man. It was a pleasure to be around Benny at so many family gatherings. He will be missed by all who knew him. God Bless you all and may God give you strength during this most difficult time. xox

Rest in Peace Benny and tell my Dad hello. You were a special part of my life for many years growing up and I will always remember the great trip to Wisconsin Dells and when you Helen, Mom and Dad took that road trip to come and see me in California. You were a special part of our family and our C&L family and we will miss you very much.

You were a part of my youthful past, you were a friend to spend Canada fishing time, your smile and your friendship are mine forever---THANKS

May God Bless Benny Sokolowski Jr. and everyone in his Family. I thank this U.S. Navy Veteran for his service to his country during World War II when America needed him. Benny is a proud member of what Tom Brokaw has named, the "Greatest Generation."
