Benny- So many great memories at the lake growing up. I will never forget my first football road trip with the "Dukes" boys. I will dearly miss you miss and will always remember the kindness you showed me. Thanks for not only being a great uncle but for also being a great friend. I always looked forward to talking politics with you. The working class was your passion and it showed. Becky- Thank you so much for looking after Bennie after the passing of Judith Kay. I know she would have loved you and would be very appreciative of the attention and love you gave to Bennie. God blees you for that. R.I.P Uncle Bennie

Bennie was such a super great son in law. I am so happy that our daughter, Becky had eight years with him. From the time they first met, I knew that my daughter would be loved. Anyone who ever saw them together as a couple has to know the great love they had for each other.. Thanks,Bennie for....in her own words...making our daughter happier that she had ever been before......Now, rest high on that mountain.....your work on earth is done. Becky's parents, Al and Sandy Bedel

Our memories of Bennie span many years of living next door to him. In the early years, the days extended into the wee hours of the morning. Then as we aged, our days became shorter and shorter until we were already in bed by the time our get-to-gathers of old even began. UK football and basketball games are the mainstay of our get-to-gathers today. Becky, you are the only reason Bennie lived until he was almost 76 years old. Without your love, care, and determination Bennie would have left this world many years ago. You are truly an angel that God sent to love him with all your heart and you fulfilled your role beyond measure. May God comfort you and the rest of Bennie's loved ones.
