Condolence: Dearest Miss Pat, Kathy and family,
We are so very sorry for your loss. At the same time we are so thankful and proud that you shared your husband and father with us.
When we lose a loved one it is comforting to know that they made a difference. Most of all, Coach Bennett and you ,Miss Pat, showed us a fine example of how to enjoy a life well lived together and with Kathy as a family. He also made a difference in so many lives the names and numbers we could never begin to recall. Coach Bennett was a teacher, coach, mentor and friend. He was faithful to his beliefs to the end and we honor his memory in our home.

Condolence: I was very sorry to hear of Coach Bennett's passing. He was such a wonderful man. His contributions to the Palatka community are immense and far-reaching. It was partly due to a conversation with Coach Bennett back in the '80s that I decided to go into teaching and coaching as a career. His legacy as a Christian, coach, and mentor has touched so many. Thank you, Coach!

Condolence From: Nicole Torode Whitfield
Condolence: Coach Bennett impacted so many generations. He was so loved and respected. They donโ€™t make men like him anymore, but he left a piece of himself in many men and women. I was blessed to have him as my AD, but also a personal family friend. I am blessed to be involved in athletics in many levels and I appreciate the example he gave me. Prayers for his family, but mostly-thank you for sharing him with us all. Coaches families make a huge sacrifice. You will be missed Coach. You are so loved!
