Bennett and Doris K. Bennett. He is survived by two brothers, Mitchell W. Bennett (Marian) of Leland, NC, and Ronald K. Bennett (Becky) of Kitty Hawk, NC; two nieces, Debra B. Routh (Hal) and Natalie B. Bost (Ben); and two nephews, Ryan K. Bennett and Brent H. Bennett (Katie). A graduate of New Hanover High School and East Carolina University, "Benny," as known to his family, was an avid fisherman and hunter both locally and around the world. He loved music that spanned decades, the Boston Red Sox, and his second home on Lake Okeechobee, FL. Hobson was kind, generous, had an infectious laugh, and was loved by all who knew him. There is no way to put into words everything he was to so many people. He will be greatly missed. Special thanks to Dr. Doug Dixon, Wilmington Gastroenterology, and the NHRMC Radiology Dept. for the care and compassion shown to Hobson.
