Dave. Just a quick note to let you know that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. John and Bari Edmondson

Our Deepest Sympathy to the Costa Family, 
 Your father was an Icon at Middle Beach for many years, everyone knew him as Benny. He will be missed. Our prayers and condolences go out to all of you. May God Bless Benny as he goes to his final resting place.

We met while working in the produce aisle at Bennie's in the 1980s, and we were married years later with many friends from Bennie's in attendance. That wonderful market will always have a special place in our hearts. We learned so much there, and we made great friends. Our condolences to Dave, Diane, and the entire family. - Mike & Kristin Roberto

Fond memories of Bennie Farm Market with my family on are way to Watersedge Resort in Westbrook even though I never meet Bennie the founder he as left quite a legacy. God Bless.

My Mother wouldn't go anywhere else but Bennies. Growing up in Centerbrook and Bennies was the way it was for us and soo many others as well. He was a gentleman businessman and I will always remember him. My sympathy to all his Family and friends. May he rest peacefully.

Dave and the Costa families, 
 I was sorry to read of your dad's passing. He was area institution. I have yet to have a better grinder than one that was made at Bennies Farm Market, and I've been comparing all my adult life. There is none better. I didn't know of his connection to The Shoreline Clinic. That's quite a legacy. My sincere condolences.

I have very fond memories of visiting Bennie's store every time we were back in Connecticut. Bennie was always very friendly remembering us over all the years. My condolences from the Meyer/Milardo family.

Bennie has been my friend for some forty years. For me, Bennie had a keen mind and was thoughtful, caring, and kind. Through the years we didn't see much of each other, but he was always in my thoughts and prayers and I will always cherish the memories and life's lessons he taught me. Blessings my friend!

My great grandfather, or Bennie to some of you, brought gifts into our lives. Pleas except my condolences.

What a wonderful man! Always friendly. Always "up". He will remain in integral part of the soul of Essex forever.

What an admirable man and great landlord. We will miss you here in Essex. My condolences to all of the family.

Dear Mary and family, 
I am very sorrow for the loss of your dad. May you find comfort in all of the wonderful memories and the knowledge that he is with your mom now. He lived a full life and you are all his legacy.... and a very large one it is! Take care. ((( hugs)))
