Dear Benvenuto Family, please accept my deepest sympathy for the loss your father. Please know that I keep you all in my thoughts and prayers that the God of all comfort will carry you through this valley experience. I have such fond memories of your dad, especially his easy going nature and his ability to cut us all some slack as we transitioned from youth to adulthood. Like the time Steve crashed the chevy wagon by the dump on Town Farm Road. Or the time he let the band play for the back yard party, which got a little out of hand. He was slow to anger and quick to forgive and move on. Mr B was a true class act and we're all better for knowing him. Peace to you all.
