Patrick C. Bennison

Dear family, Dr. Bennison hired me as a dental assistant with no experience in dentistry whatsoever and it was the best job I ever had! He was a mentor and a true friend. I have such fond memories of my time there and chance meetings later. It makes me sad that I was unable to say goodbye. I know he will be sorely missed. Love and hugs...Nola

I was co-chairman of many Class reunions and Pat and his wife attended a number of them. He always had a smile and an optimistic outlook. RIP Pat. Ward O'Neill

Amy and PC, I owe a debt of gratitude to your father. He was always willing to help, offering fatherly advice and welcomed me like family. His warm heart, "smiling eyes" and unwavering support will never be forgotten. I'll always be grateful for the tremendous impact both he and Sally had on my life. Love, Paula

Amy and PC, so sorry to hear about your Dad. Uncle Pat was such a wonderful man. To this day I think about the memories visiting your family in both NY and HHI. He was so generous, kind, family-oriented, and funny. You have my deepest condolences and are in my prayers.

I met Dr Pat through his wife Sally. He had surgery on his shoulder. She wanted me to get the Christmas decorations out of the attic and put them up under his supervision. I continued to do this and many other things around the house. His trust in me was more than most people knew. He told me over lunch one day that I was working for him that I was the only man he trusted to be in his house alone with his wife. Pat, Sally and I had many laughs together while I fixed things around the house....
