Bennie is survived by his sister, Starr Martin, and his nephews Vincent and James. He will be missed by many. We will especially miss his ability to make everyone laugh and his giving heart. He is not in pain anymore and at peace probably rolling around playing with our various pups over the years (or lizards, or snakes, or turtles!)If you knew him, you know he would slam on brakes or do a U-turn, or run across a highway to get a reptile to safety. He was also happiest when he was exploring the woods, caves, etc. so for that reason he will be cremated and his ashes spread in a cave or over a waterfall. His family asks you do something nice in his name without asking for anything in return...something small....perhaps one day you can save a kitten from the road or help a neighbor with their lawn.
