I always enjoyed when Bob would take me on a tour of his personal baseball museum located on his property
It was first class and provided many opportunities to see all the lives he touched over the years he coached
I also enjoyed taking out one of his poems and reading them again

ob Bennett is my cousin and an inspiration to more than the greater Fresno area in terms of his influence and positive role model for both women and men.
The Prestridge boys, Ron, Ken and Neil miss Bob greatly and wish Jane and family our thoughts are with them.
After covid19 I look forward to spending time with the Bennett extended family

RIP, Coach Bennett! I knew you briefly when I was a sports reporter covering games but my favorite memories of you are sitting in the stands at Beiden Field (at Bob Bennett Stadium) watching Fresno State baseball! Thanks for all that you did for our school. Go Dogs!
