Mr. Jenkins was an exceptional teacher at Riverview Jr. High. He always spoke words of wisdom. He taught many students about the strategies of a challenging chess game. May God carry and comfort you during this time.

To the Family of Bennie Jenkins
I was a childhood friend of Bennie's at LaRose Elementary School in Memphis, and also a graduate of the BTW class of 1957. Bennie and I were often called upon to perform duets at LaRose, and we became real buddies. Rosetta,I am so grateful that I had an opportunity to meet you at our 50th class reunion in 2007, and to catch up and reminisce with Bennie about the "good old days." As we celebrate his life, we sadly say goodbye to that magnificent tenor voice, as he now joins the celestial choir of angels.
My sincere condolences to you, and may God bless and comfort you now and in the days ahead.
Love & Prayers,
Pamela McKinney

To the family of Bennie Lee Jenkins:
I also was a member of the BTW Class of 1957. So I knew Bennie as an outstanding classmate and an incredibly talented singer. It was a blessing to see him again in 2007 at our 50th high school reunion. May God bless you at this time. May your memories of Bennie sustain you in the days ahead.

I am expressing my deepest condolences to this entire family. I am the neice of the late Mr. & Mrs. Thomas Jenkins and the cousin of Gerald Jenkins in Memphis, TN. I knew Mr. Jenkins when he would come and be one of our substitute teachers at Riverview Jr. High School when I was a student there. I will miss his beautiful smile. Remember the fond memories that you all had with Bennie. May God continue to bless this entire family during this most difficult time.
