There are few men that I can admire. I admired John Bennett for his strength of character and the honest way he lived his life.
May his memory be for a blessing to all that knew him as it is to me.

Heaven received a great man on April 21, 2022 when John Bennett charged through those pearly gates! I can almost imagine his grin from ear to ear when he burst through and met Jesus face to face! We will miss him here; but one day we'll be reunited with him in God's Kingdom, where there is no pain and no tears; just love. (And maybe fishing...hang onto your lure this time!)

We love ❤ you, John. And we love your sweet wife and children. God bless you all.

I have known John since 1957. I know his as a highly responsible man who gave of himself and his household with great grace. He was an excellent husband, father and grandfather. Our nation is poorer by the passing of John Bennett.
