SAMUEL TONY BENTON

Your dad led a very full life and I am sure he will be missed by his family as well as his friends. I will remember you and your family in my prayers and thoughts as you go through this difficult time.

Becky and family,
I remember our Dads were in the same carpool for a time when we were at Norwood. What a fine man he was and
will be missed greatly. Your family
will be in my prayers. Love, Beverly

Dear Bettye,
I was sorry to hear of Sam's passing. He was a very special person who made a difference in many people's lives. I am sorry for your loss.
Mary Ann Toennisson, RN from Cardiac Rehab

Please accept my heartfelt sympathy on the loss of your loved one. I am sorry that I was unable to pay my respects in person but was out of town at the time and have just learned of Sam's passing. I have fond memories of Sam from both WMBC and working at Oak Ridge. My thoughts and prayers are with your family during this difficult time.

May God bless you and give you peace during this difficult time. We will miss him terribly.

Bettye and family:

We are so sorry to hear about Sam's death. The Benton's are just like family to the Laugherty's. I can remember the first time I ate pizza was at the Benton's home. I went home and told mom and dad I ate "pia weea". Mom and dad got a good laugh out of that... Jim and I are so sorry we cant be there. We have moved to Navarre, Florida a couple of weeks ago to be closer to our kids and see our granddaughter, Cheyenne grow up. Eddie and Linda are at Vanderbilt. Linda...

Dear Benton Family, I know your hearts are heavy with the loss of dear Samuel.
He was ONE FINE GENTLEMAN and will be greatly missed by so many. Bettye and Samuel have been my friends for more tnan 70 years, and I send much love and sympathy to all his fine family. Mildred Ivester-Sterchi, Dalton, GA

When we first met, I remember being impressed with his kindness towards me and my family. He also had a VERY impressive tomato patch! My two son's were amazed. They also LOVED their sweet pickles and still talk about them years later. You will certainly be missed here, but enjoy your next journey Sam.
