Bob Bennett

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

From Ron Prestridge

Thanks for a great winter league as a diamond dog coach Bennett! Still think of you often... You are the best baseball coach I ever had in many many years of playing. Rest in peace...

Great man, great father, great husband and a great mentor to young men!

It was an honor to have Coach Bennett play an important role in the life of our son. Please accept our sincere condolences.

Brad and family, we are truly sorry for your loss. We offer you our deepest condolences and our thoughts and prayers are with you.

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

Coach Bennetts passing really saddens me. Bob Bennett, is and was Fresno Baseball! Ive enjoyed reading the different tributes to Coach. He meant so much to our community. Coach doesnt get enough credit for his wonderful sense of humor. God Bless the whole Bennett family, you were so Blessed to have him lead your Family.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Karen and Bob, My deepest sympathies to you and your families. I will smile in remembrance of the joy your father spread and the work he did, to inspire, encourage, and teach so many. What a giant of a man! My sincere, heartfelt, condolences.

Coach, thank you for the opportunity. RIP.

Thank you for all that you did. You were a man of character and I will never forget the stories about my Dad and Grandpa. It was always my pleasure to see you every year. And will miss you dearly. My best to the 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!

Rest in peace coach. Your legacy will never be forgotten. You're a true testament to the phrase, "Bulldog bred, Bulldog proud." Godspeed Bob.

Bob was a true friend and mentor to all who knew him. His legacy will illuminate valley ball diamonds forever. Thank you Bob for your friendship through the years.

Rest in peace, Bob.
Thank you for being such a strong supporter of the track and field program at Fresno State. Deeply appreciated.
