I'll never forget all the relaxing evenings of me and Poppy laying in the hammock or sitting on the swing enjoying great music together. Every time I stayed by my grandparents house I always looked forward to putting a smile on Poppy's face by putting the headphones on him and introducing him to new music. He had a great sense of humor, was full of life and always in a good mood. I will love him forever.

To 'Lil Benny' and the Audibert Family;
I'd like to extend my heartfelt condolences to all on your loss. Benny was one of the more "unique" persons I met at Boh Bros. Always quick-witted, but very understanding and helpful to me when I had a problem. The world needs alot more like Him. May God bless all of you, and may Benny's soul and the souls of all the faithfully departed, rest in peace.

Great Memories of Benny, those early morning phone calls to him, we could count on him being at the Yard early and ready to help in so many ways. The smile, his tales of how many fish he had caught the previous day and his willingness to share with all of us. Just a great guy to be around. My Prayers are for all of you and hope that God's Grace gives you some comfort.
