Benny had a kind soul, a smile for everyone he met, and would truly help any and all in need, whether he knew them or not. I lost touch with him a couple years back. However, thought of him often, and each time, a smile came to my face. This world is at a loss without him, and please accept my sincere condolences. Ben, if you get this message, give me a call please.
