Benny especially loved time together with his family, and enjoyed a good meal. He was a loving husband, dad, grandpa, great-grandpa, son, brother, uncle and friend. We celebrate his life and his accomplishments and will treasure the memories he created for his family and friends. Benny loved and cherished Vickie and was ready to go home and be with her.
