My fondest memories of Benny is as a teenager, when he played football for Southside High School and dated my sister, the late Mrs. Rainell Clark. I shall always remember him for his sense of humor. Rest well, Benny until we meet again on the other side. Condolences to my nephew, Chuck, his siblings and the entire Mayfield family. Love you all!
