I remember the first time I met him. I was tongue-tied, but he still took time to talk to me on his way to get Nat some money from the ATM. Afterwards, we had a cool conversation. As a wise man said, he was a big guy with a big voice, a big heart, and a big presence. I know his future plans would have been amazing. Miss you, Benny. As Dr. Hiriluk said, we will remember you forever. Rest well, Benny.

Last time I purchased a comic was in 1995. He retold all the stories I missed through the years. Loved his energy and passion for comics.
