I didn't really know him that well. The only memory that i have of this man was when he gave me a leather jacket for Christmas two years ago. Nevertheless, he will be missed.

May God be with all his children at this time of sorrow. He was a wonderful and caring man who I am sure God just wanted him by his side to give him rest and comfort. He made a difference in many lives and it was always for the better. I love my Uncle Benny with all my heart but I know he is well and at peace with God. Rest in Peace Uncle Benny all my Love,
