    So sorry to hear of Mr. Bennett's passing. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of the Bennett family. I remember as a neighbor seeing Mr. Bennett go out golfing on Sunday mornings, and his beloved dog, Ginger by his side in the back yard. He always knew all of the latest musical hits that were popular in the seventies, which always impressed me! And I used to see him out walking in South Hills Village when I would walk with my parents. Hope there's a golf course up in heaven that he's enjoying!

    Mr. Bennett, I will always have fond memories of you as "Little Daddy." I remember many summer evenings with you and my dad, "Big Daddy" having a few beers and laughing. I will keep your friends and family in my prayers. Mary
