I have known the family most of their lives. Most caring, loving and considerate family I know. Bennie Jr. was a sweet young man and definitely Bennie Scott senior's son. I know Lt. Bennie was loved by his mother, sisters, niece nephews and his Wilson friends. You will be truly missed.

I am truly sorry for the physical loss of Bennie. He was a remarkable person, and his spirit continues to shine even brighter now.
On behalf of my dear friend and soul sister, Melanie - Bennie´s legal next of kin - I´d like to share that the official obituary is currently being prepared and will be shared soon by the immediate family.
With love and sincerity
