Benny was my supervisor/boss at Coleman Dairy, when I was working in the shipping department. I learned much more than shipping from him. He was a great man and role model for me.

In many ways Benny was an answer to our prayers. He came in our lives at just the right time. Benny was loving and honest with such an amazing wit and humor. He was the first to offer help never expecting anything in return. We are so grateful for the time he was with us. My heart is sad for now but in time we will all be celebrating in heaven. I know that he is dancing with Cathy and that makes me smile. We will miss him in so many ways.

Benny was a wonderful man and the first person I worked under who I truly respected and learned from. He will be missed. Bring him home Lord.
