I really miss him so much I always knew he was there for me about anything in this life ( our bond as family and friends was so strong) I regret not spending enough time with Benny as we grew older and could enjoy our senior years and just spend more time in sharing our life together as we did so much when we were younger. Benny I miss you!

Angela, I only met Benny a few times most of my memories of him are the ones that you shared with me. All the love you & he shared and the wonderful family you created together. He has not left any of you only in the physical sense, he is watching over you all as I sit here writing this and will always walk beside you. Blessings to your family and his.

I just found out about Benny's passing away. I am so sad.It is difficulty to really express the sorrow that I feel. We have had so many memorable times together. We shared so much that made our relationship so special. I am sure that this is a difficult time for you and your children. May you find comfort in the memories that you experienced together.Please express my sympathy to your children. I am also passing on expressions of sympathy from Anthony Mark, Ann Marie and Angela who have memories of Benny as being so kind hearted
I will miss a good man... but mainly my dear friend
