Bennie Hurt
On June 1, 2017 we lost our stepfather and friend.
He was in
our lives for over 10 years, he and Sherry’s mom wintered with us in Texas for
the last years. Bennie and I went fishing. Often we went to his favorite Lake
Cumberland in his hometown in Jamestown, Kentucky. We also went on an annual
Crappie fishing trip to Salamonie Reservoir in Indiana. We took two trips to
Canada fishing, one to Alanwater Bridge and one to Nungesser Lake in western
Ontario. I find it difficult to write about Bennie and we miss him greatly. Bennie
worked for more than 50 years for the same company and was still mowing for
them the year before he passed. He would help all of his family with projects.
He used his trailer and helped us spread mulch around the house. Mom and he
loved to travel and went to Alaska, Hot air balloon festival in Albuquerque,
the Pacific North West and the east coast. They wintered in Florida for a few
years before I retired. Bennie loved to
drive and knew all the backroads from years traveling to his work places. He
knew lots of people and was loved by them. Bennie liked to be well dressed and
traveled with a toothpick.
We miss you Bennie!!!
