My heartfelt condolences to Benny Joe’s family. I grew up with Benny Joe and his family. Paul Wallace would pick me up and I would ride with him on his motorcycle to LHS (at least until my mother found out). I remember June riding her horse. Fallsburg was a wonderful community to grow up and to be from.
I just loved Benny! Such a wonderful man.
