I am sorry for your loss. We were part of a very tight knit community to grow up in and Bennie was one of many who looked out for everyone in the neighborhood. He always had a joke or a smile for everyone. May you find peace in knowing he was loved by many. Please accept my sincere condolences.

Bennie used to frequent my dad's place some 65 years ago. And he did me the honor of escorting me to my senior prom at St Gerard HS. God has blessed you (family) with many years with this dear man. Know that he and you are in our prayers.
