Bill was one of the best hires I ever made! Not only was he a dedicated employee, but he cared deeply for the guests of My Brother's Table. He was always forgiving and always quick with a smile, not always easy! Bill touched the lives of many people at the table, the guests, the volunteers, the staff and my own. Bill you will be greatly missed.

On behalf of the staff, volunteers, guests and board of My Brother's Table I send our deepest condolences to the Bennett family. Bill was a member of our Table family too, and he will be deeply missed by all of us. We will always remember his dedication to our guests and his warmth and kindness.
Rest in Peace, Bill.
