It is very difficult to read this obituary; it broke our hearts to learn of Bennie's transition. Bennie, was one of a kind. We are not only fortunate, but better for having known him and to have experienced his distinguished grace and thoughtfulness. Knowing how much his family meant to him and how much Bennie meant to all of you, it is hard to process what must be unimaginable grief. You have our sincere and heartfelt condolences; we are here to support you in any way that we can.
