Bennie Strazulla, 97, of Pensacola, Florida, passed away peacefully on August 6, 2025, surrounded by his loving family. Born in Pensacola on November 19, 1927, to Lena and Frank Strazulla, Bennie spent his life deeply rooted in the community he loved. A devoted son, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, Bennie's greatest pride was his family. He is survived by his daughters: June Suarez and Shirley Grossman; Grandchildren: David Farmer, Crystal Suarez, Erick Grossman and Lauren Grossman; and several cherished great-grandchildren who brought joy to his later years. Those who knew Bennie will remember his quiet strength, his warm heart, and the steady guidance he offered to those around him. Whether in times of celebration or challenge, his presence was a source of comfort and reassurance. Bennie's life will be honored in a private family gathering in Pensacola, where his legacy of love, resilience, and family devotion will be celebrated.
