Benny's humor, good nature, and strength of character will be deeply missed by everyone who knew him. Beyond a cousin, he was an unwavering, true friend. Our deepest sympathy to his extended family and many friends.

Bentley always had a smile and a kind word when we'd see each other. When we were younger we'd see each other often when my parents would take me "down home" to visit. I saw Bentley when he came to MD for Harry Shorter's funeral couple years ago then I saw him again while I was paying Uncle Arthur a visit several weeks after that. Texted a couple times and a phone call now and then. Benny was a good, decent man. Rest in peace cousin.

Prayers for all the family. Sorry for your loss.

Bently was one of the nicest guys I ever met. I knew him from Inland Motors. He was so friendly to everyone. Sorry I couldn't attend the service. My deepest sympathy to all the family.
