I was deeply saddened and heartbroken to hear of my friend's (Bennzy/Benzor) passing on. I co-worked with with him and Don Booker for many years. He once told me he never had to advertise his business. Reputation and word of mouth were enough to carry him through his many years of his craft. A real stickler for detail and undeniable quality craftmanship. Case of beer every year for Christmas. He loved riding his bike and sharing stories and companionship at Roy's. Also,a member of the 'Knights of Columbus' of which he was very proud.
I will miss him, and our 'ciggy' breaks with morning coffee. My sympathies and sorrow to Geraldine, kids, family and friends. A big help and a true friend for many years. I will remember him fondly. R.I.P.
