I was warmly invited into the Benner family in 1966. Grandma Benner was the light of the family and is still greatly missed. Sure wish I could be a llttle mouse in the corner to hear her words to her sons!! Look forward to spending time with family friends and relatives.

We first met Joe in Naples, Florida at Quail Run Golf Course and became fast friends with Joe and Jean. Joe always had a "story" to tell and a twinkle in his eyes. We will never forget our trip to NYC to see Syracuse and ND..what a terrific time..... While Joe may no longer be here he will never be forgotten. Rest in Peace. Sincerest condolences to all....
