It is with great sadness that I convey to Carl Bennett and the entire Bennett family my sincere and heartfelt condolences on the passing of Dorothy Bennett.

For 22 years I had the honor and privilege of working at Caldor, 11 of those years under the Bennetts. Mrs Bennett was a guiding light for Caldor and her positive influence was felt far and wide especially for those of us at the Central Office in Norwalk.

I was very saddened to hear of Dorothy’s passing Carl. I remember meeting both of you at the opening of the Danbury store with my father Pat. My father always spoke so highly of Dorothy. She was a wonderful person and will be greatly missed but not forgotten.
