Benny is survived by his wife of 35 years, Jean (nee Hirsch); his 6 children, Emer (Nini), Vivi (Tony) Snyder, Agerico (Jenny), Marie (Lito) Alforque, Ricia (Dodjie) Sadsad, Rico, and stepson Jeff (Nina) Hirsch; grandchildren Mia, Riana, Monique, Marco, Raimund, Lisa, Phillip, Trevor and Will.

Hi Jeannie
Linda and I offer our sincere condolences on Benny’s passing. I recall happy times together when you were living in Atlanta. I recall working with Benny and the many trips we did together throughout the USA. Goodbye, my friend.
Jean, Jeff, and Benny’s children, grandchildren, great grands; Benny brings us joy as he romps through our memories of him. He adds laughter and smiles as he brightens our days. May God bless him and each of you whom he touched with his love.
Deepest sympathies to Jean and Jeff. Benny had a smile to light up a room and a laugh that made your heart light. I enjoyed our online scrabble games…he was tough to beat. See you on the other side, Benny.
Love,
Sue and Denny
