November 24, 2007 I remember Benny from our high school days as always having a smile. I hadn't seen him since high school, and I'll bet he still always had a smile. My sympathy and thoughts go out to his family. Joe Seiberlich (Colorado Springs, CO)

November 23, 2007 Benny had a presence that lit up a room. He always had a smile and one would always expect a friendly or funny comment when Benny spoke.  I regret that I couldn't spend time in Benny's company as a grown man.  Life and circumstances separated us since our high school days together.  Those days are cherished because of people like Benny that were brief and happy parts of my life.  I was thrilled to know that he married Patty Tangel and together they had children and a wonderful life together.  To Patty, her children, and to Benny's extended family, my deepest sympathies.  I will remember Benny, as will others who met him, as a special and wonderful guy. '69 Wolverine Team Mate Carey Finn (Olympia, WA)
