Not only did I work in the Pulp Division with Benny, I also grew up in Upland. I was a few years older than him but I remember him and his love of baseball quite well. I hope that the family will accept my Condolences at this time of grief and sorrow at his passing. We will miss him at the K/C retirees gatherings at the Aston Legion. I won't be able to attend on Saturday Morning to pay my respects because I will be at the K/C Family day in Chester. I am guessing that he would have been attending if possible. May he Rest in Peace.
