Raul: You were always larger than life.  Deb and I will always miss having you and Deb in  our life.

Donna and I just learned of Raul's passing.  Our thoughts and prayers go out to Deb and Charlie. I so enjoyed our time together at Webb AFB.  Raul was a joyful person and so fun to be around. Deb, I would very much enjoy talking with you when you are able to reach out.

I was saddened today to learn of Raul's passing at Thanksgiving while I was away.  He was a bright spot every day as we discussed many things in and out of our business. Raul was thoroughly professional and most of all, a great human being.  I will miss him, but he will still guide me as a role model for a life well lived.

My deepest sympathis go out to Raul's family!  I worked with Raul on energy matters over the past few years and there will always be a positive memory of his professionalism and his positive demeanor... I am truly shocked and saddened by his loss

So sorry to hear of Raul's passing.  I had the privilege of serving with Raul for 3 short years in DOR.  He was a patriot who deeply cared about freedom, family and making a positive difference in those he came in contact with.  My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I am so sorry to hear of the death of Lt Col. Raul Bennett. My deepest sympathies are with you all during this difficult time. I keep with me fond memories of the ACC/DOR family and LtC Bennett's smile is right there shinning ever so brightly.  Please know that your family will remain in my prayers.

Debra,
Diane and I are so sorry for your loss. Raul was the person that hired me into the DOR-MEN and was always the man with the answers. You all will be in our prayers and certainly he will be missed.

Debra, Charlie and AJ,
 Fred and I are so sorry for your loss.  We know he will be greatly missed!  You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. Fred and Sherry Wells

So sorry to hear the news about Raul. Been a very long time, but I still remember what a wonderful and cheerful person Raul was in pilot training. I know he will be greatly missed by his family and loved ones. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all who were close to him.

Debra, Charlie, and AJ--

Janice and I are so sorry for your loss.  Raul was one of the original DOR-MEN.  Raul and I grew up in SAC and the Buffs.  We were stationed together at Castle as instructors; and, thanks to him, I was rescued from Nellis to come to Langley to be a DOR-MAN. His guidance ensured a successful transition for our family.  He will be missed by many.  You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

Art and Janice Jean

Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time.  Raul was a thoughtful and dedicated co-worker who made a difference.  He loved his family, and was a friend who cared.  I will miss our conversations during our hallway walks at the Pentagon.

I am so sorry for your loss.  Raul was always such an outgoing individual, his laughter and humor would brighten everybody's day.  We first met in Pilot Training at Webb AFB in 1975, and kept in touch through reunions and Christmas newsletters.  He will be truly missed.  Our prayers are with you all during this time of grieving.  If there is anything Jan and I can do, please contact us.

What a great expereince to have worked with Raul on the ACC/A3A staff.  He was always kind and generous with his time and insight.  He will be missed.   My sincerest sympathies, prayers, and thoughts go out to his family and friends.

Was very appreciative that Raul did his best to indoctrinate an Army guy into the Air Force energy team.  His contributions and his willingness to help others are already missed.

I worked with Raul in DOR/A3A and he was a wealth of information and always so helpful. He has passed onto Glory but he will be missed so much.  Deb my heartfelt prayers go out to you and your family.

I worked with Raul for about a year when he was at Langley and I was at the pentagon and he really mentored me like a true friend.  Then he moved up to the pentagon and I saw him *all the time* -- it was almost laughable.  We'd always stop and talk and catch up.  A very kind and open gentleman who will be missed greatly.
My thoughts and prayers to his family.

Debra, I'm so sorry for your loss.  I enjoyed working with Raul and found it pleasurable to see you on our DOR HOO HAS.  I wish you the very best.

Raul was a friend, a mentor and a forever Airman.  I've worked with him or for him for over 11 years and will miss running into his smiling face in the halls of the Pentagon.  Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Deb and Family,
I've know Raul for only a few years but our heritage goes all the way back to Wurtsmith AFB in Oscoda Michigan.  Our paths crossed when he worked at ACC in Ranges and I was there when he was interviewed for the job at the Pentagon.  Bobby Fowler picked the right word to describe working with Raul, "JOVIAL".  We got the work accomplished and had fun doing it...quite a chore when you are working at the Pentagon.  My prayers are with you as you celebrate his life.  God bless Raul's family.

Our hearts are broken knowing that Raul has left us.  He was one of a kind--a great neighbor and friend. Please know that our prayers are with you Debra, Charlie, AJ and the rest of the family.  
Raul was bigger than life!  He was not only a great Dad to Charlie and AJ, but to many other young men.  He will be carried in each one of our hearts forever.  
Rest in Peace Dear Friend!
Omar and Debbie Keith

Very sorry to hear of Raul's passing. He was full of life and always up beat. Worked with Raul for several years Deb, no words can ease your pain, just know he is in a better place.  NTTR/FM, Retired

I am so saddened to hear of Rauls passing.  I worked with him for many years on the ACC staff. He was the one to go to--to get it done.  I am so sorry for you loss.

Raul was an exceptional individual.  I worked with him as part of the Air Mobility Command Fuel Efficiency Team, and we could always count on him for support, keen advice on navigating the halls of the Pentagon, and insight into how to get support for each of our programs.  He was always willing to put in the extra effort necessary to get the job done the right way.  

My family just spent some time with Raul at the Airlift Tanker Association Symposium in November, and he was his jovial, normal self.  We were all saddened to hear of his untimely passing. 

Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone touched by Raul.

Raul will be remembered as someone who was always larger than life, a true icon in the Air Force and the range world.  He was a friend and a mentor and he will be missed.  Our best to Deb and the entire Bennett family.

Our hearts and prayers are with you during this time of loss and grieving.  We want you to know that you are not alone in remembering a truly wonderful person who meant so much to everyone. 

     Kathleen Bennett, Debby, Joletta and Brenda

Dry Your Tears
In Memory of Raul Charles Bennett
December 31, 1950 – November 25, 2014

I traversed the night within the valley
Ascending up the mountain high
The gate lay opened there before me
I caught the light within God's eyes

He extended out His arms to hold me
Victory claimed for it was mine
Never ends, but just beginnings
Providence's path was all divine

I carry each of you within me
Never will you be alone
Angels encircled all about you
Rest your hearts now, I am home

I shall watch my caisson roll there
Hear taps echo hallowed ground
Walk once more behind me brothers
                                                             Fold my flag, let rifles sound

No man could want for greater riches
Than you have given through my years
Forever and a day I'll love you
Smile for me now, dry your tears
