Barry L. Benninger, 74, of Quakertown, passed away on Tuesday, June 3, 2025, at Grand View Hospital in Sellersville.

Born on March 15, 1951, in Quakertown, he was the son of Marie (Hendricks) Frankenfield and the late Raymond L. Benninger.

A graduate of Quakertown High School’s Class of 1969, he went on to enter the workforce and served as a Union Glazer for the Local 252 in Philadelphia, until his retirement in 2010.

Outside of work, he took joy in hunting and fishing (including deep sea fishing), parachuting, bungee jumping, archery and his Street Rod cars.

He was a member of Great Swamp Fish and Game Club, the Slatington Rod and Gun Club, and Zion Hill Evangelical Lutheran Church, where he also served on church council.

Barry, who possessed a great sense of humor with quick wit and charm, will be lovingly remembered by his wife of forty-seven years: Judy (Reinhart) Benninger, to whom he wed on November 4, 1978; mother: Marie Frankenfield; sons: Chris Benninger and his wife Tara; Adam Benninger and his wife Meredith; brother: Jerry Benninger and his wife Debbie; sister: Debbie and her husband Bill; half sisters: Karen Arnold and her husband Matt and Lori Henry and her husband Bill, grandchildren: Katie, Aidan, and Priska.
