I worked with Bennett at Public Works for about 15 or so years. He was always friendly with a smile on his face. Heaven will be getting another angel. God bless his family.

Nancelyn - It makes my heart so sad to read about your daddy. I always saw him out sweeping or doing something in the yard, and the last time that I saw him, not to long ago, he was walking the dog. He always had a smile on his face and enjoyed visiting when I would stop and say hello. I have fond memories of him and know that you will keep yours close to your heart, so that he will always be with you. He is now with your mother. I know that he missed her so. Love you Nancelyn, Leigh Reams McAuley
