Richard O. Benner, Sr.

I am so proud to call him my Uncle. I have always admired him as a strong person who was able to overcome anything. He was so smart , funny, & very caring. He was so good to my Mom, always there for her & taught me the meaning of true sibling love . He leaves me with his wonderful love of the Irish, his zest for living life to its fullest & loving his God no matter what trials are bestowed on us. Uncle Rich see you again at our Irish Party in the hereafter.

Kathy and family - Blessings to you all and sharing sincere sympathy in the passing of your dear Dad

Mr. Benner was the best "boss" I ever had. He was fair, generous and
appreciative. I enjoyed the many years I worked with him. I will miss his
smile, his jokes and his cheery demeanor. Condolences to the Benner
family.

The Benner Family Sorry for the loss of a great man... We met Dick at a Lower Saucon Township meeting back in 1969. He was a caring man anyone could love, respect and call him your friend..Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family... RIP

Dick and his wife loved the comics we do. They were sponsors many times in January their wedding anniversary and Joyce's birthday month. Wasn't too long ago he told me that his eyesight was giving him problems and to stop sending them. Of course, he ended our phone call like always with a repeated Irish joke.
Joyce told us one day she was in the other room, and he was at the table. She heard this noise and him banging a bit on the table. She thought he swallowed something. Here when...

I will miss my Pop Pop. He was truly the best Irishman I knew. We used to gat about all dressed up on St. Patty’s day delivering gold coins (chocolate candy) to various places in our area spreading Irish joy and laughter. He always shared a joke or two. RIP. Love, Deanna

To the Benner Family
Very sorry for your loss. Richard and my Father became good friends after meeting at the store. When my father became I’ll your Dad would visit my Father and solve the worlds problems. Lol. He will be missed

My deepest condolences to Dennis, Dave and Kathy all though I wasn´t with him long it was a great joy caring for him. He always would thank me tremendously for taking good care of him. I enjoyed eating dinner with him and he would share his Irish jokes. I was honored to know him and care for him all though it wasn´t very long I will miss him and so glad I got to know him.

I worked with Dick for Northampton County. A true gentleman. I will never forget St. Patrick’s Day when Dick was in his glory. Blessings to family.
