Benny was the typical midwestern man who had a love for a simple and frontier type of life, He enjoyed hunting, camping, and fishing. He was also on a local bowling team for many years. He was content to spend time with family and his small circle of friends. There was probably not a western movie or TV show made that he had not seen. He had an ornery personality and loved to tease people. He had no verbal filter and would gladly tell you about his thoughts on situations. He was perfectly imperfect, and he will be missed.
