I am so sorry to hear this news, I just heard today. My heart was broken.
I've known him my whole life. He always had a story to tell and I would always listen, He would usually tell me tails of what Calvin had done to him or what he had done to Calvin.. Either way they were always funny...I can remember when I went to work at Crompton's and he found out I was Calvin's sister he wouldn't let me do anything that he thought I shouldn't do, He always looked out for me as if I was just a little girl. Loved him.
I will be praying for you all and again so sorry for your loss he will be forever in the hearts of many..
If there is anything I can do to help Please call.
My Prayers are with you all of the passing of your Father. My father worked with Bennie years ago at Crompton and I worked with him for many years at SR in Wilson. Bennie was a wonderful man and he will truly be missed.
I'm grief stricken. Uncle Bennie was a wonderful fun person. I'll miss him SO much. He was always enjoyable to talk with, listen to his family stories and be in his company. My very deepest sympathy to my cousins, Steve, Judy & Todd. I wish I could be there but I'll be with you in heart and spirit. I'm sadden for all of us but happy he is with Aunt Betty and his other dearly departed. Much Love, Patsy Whitecotton
