Benny Whitfield

I knew Benny from Pleasant View grade school . When I would see him walking in Poplar he may say hi, and he may not. He was so very shy. Never spoke in class unless he was asked by the teacher. This is what I remember . I moved away from Poplar in 1956 , and never saw any of the kids I had gone to school with for Many years. I attended the first Poplar Reunion a few years ago at Bartlett Park. I meet Bennys wife there. I said to her That I was glad Benny had found a wonder wife. I felt...

Barbara and daughters, my heart and prayers are with you all !! I grew up with Benny he was so shy he would say Hello to you if you said hello to him, but in a very low voice.. I was so glad to see Benny at the first Poplar Reunion and talk with him. The last time I was in Porterville I saw Benny and Barbara drive into the parking lot, and I walked over to talk to him again and he said Will Janie what are you doing here. Benny was always a friend I loved visiting with... You will be...

Benny was definitely a memorable one he would keep you laughing, and He will surely be missed my thoughts and prayers to the family.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.
