twenty nieces and nephews. Benny was a retired pipefitter from Johnson
Controls and a proud veteran of the US Navy. Also an avid car collector of
antique cars, he spent hours in his garage visiting with friends. He had a
heart of gold and would give the shirt off his back to help a stranger. He
was loved by all and was blessed to have so many neighbors that were there
to help at drop of a hat. Friends include Pete Brunty, Fred Sansom, Danny
May, Bernie Gray, Mike Oxler, Jim Hardy Chris Casey, Bernard Hampton, Sarah
and Tara and many more and his two loving cats Funny Face and Possum he
loved and cared for. The family would like to extend a special thank you to
Hospice of Huntington and especially Dr. Kimmey for the care and support
throughout this difficult journey. Friends may call from 5-7 pm Saturday,
January 25, 2014 at the Reger Funeral Home.
