Rita, Benny and I go back when he was just a patrolman. I rode horses on his farm. He was an ok guy who will be missed by a lot of people. We served together in the Army Reserves and I got to fingerprint him. Boy, we both had a good laugh over that one. I liked Benny and will miss him. I know he's at rest now.Please accept our condolences for your families loss. God Bless,,,Geno
