I am heartbroken to hear of the passing of Bennie. Connecticut has lost a true gentleman and one of its finest public servants. I was Bennie's press person when he served as state Senator and remained friends with him and Betty for many years. He was a wonderful and kind man and it was an honor to have known him. His warm smile, big hugs, and generous ways will remain with me always.

Tony and family,
My sincerest sympathy. I well remember going over to “Moe’s” in his first store on the Post Rd. with my mother when I was a kid. He not only had the broadest and brightest smile in Riverside, but always kept a box of Tootsie Roll pops under the counter for the kids. You can bet that made my day.

I first met Bennie in a hotel elevator in Washington, DC in 1987. We were attending a meeting of "Citizens for America", a Reagan support group. I mentioned that I lived in New Bern, NC and he said he had a place at Fairfield Harbor.
He was a gentleman and a great political conversationalist. I did an internet search to look up his contact info to reconnect when I learned of his passing.
Our condolences to his family and friends.
