Volunteered as a BIG Brother and brought Dominique Duncan into his family. Benny loved spending time with his 8 sisters and 4 brothers. He was loved very much by his 34 nieces and nephews. When he spent time with them he always asked "What Flavor"? and received the nickname of "Sit around Benny". He always was the biggest kid in the group. He enjoyed crossword puzzles, board games, and shared his love of music with such great hits of Neil Diamond, Bobby Vinton & Charlie Pride. Ben had many friends that he maintained contact with and our family was comforted by meeting them throughout Ben's illness. We have been very blessed to have had him in our lives. He may be gone but we know that the memories that we each have had with him will stay with us forever.
