Words can never fully express the sadness and anger that we are feeling. Bennie was a wonderful man. No longer with us, I truly believe that he is with Sari. We all know how much he missed her and now they are together. We will remember Bennie, in memories and pictures, and try never to let a day go by without thinking of him. Bennie had a heart of gold and didn't deserve this. God bless you Bennie. May you rest in peace.

Becky & Mike:
I was deeply saddened to hear the news about your dad's death.
I had a chance to talk to Bennie at a McKinley football game last fall. We talked about us girls playing little league baseball of all things, and our time as McKinley students...he was so proud of you guys!
Over all those years, he carried the same spirit & personality...a loving husband, father and grandfather; an encouraging, optimistic, supportive, giving, gentle and caring man; and a proud Bulldog!
My hope and prayer is that God's love and comforting spirit be with you and your family members during this difficult time.
