God Bless, to the Bennett family that I grew up with on Valencia Rd. Many fond memories of Mr. Bennett driving Minnie home every night(in the Saab), and picking up those two gallons of milk on the way home. Mr. Bennett was a wonderful father and will be missed greatly.

Dear Friends,
Growing up in WPB and being friends with the Bennett family has left many fond memories in my heart. Life was never dull on Valencia Dr. I can still taste Minnies fried chicken and remember so many stories Ames told as we sat around that big dinning table and I must add, Betty rolling her eyes as the story's were long. What a legend and remarkable gentleman PBCO has lost.
Love to all,
Tom and Martha Heim Andres
