We got to know Eddie thru boy scouts.  He loved working with the boys and was a great person.  He will be missed by everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him.  Praying for Vicki and the family.

Eddie was a very good friend of mine for many years before I retired from Richland School District two ( Forest Lake Elem. School ). Your family is in my prayers.

Larry L. Green ( Blythewood, S.C. )

We have known the Benton Family for over 30 years. They were fine, upstanding citizens, ready to lend a hand or shoulder to cry on. He was taken too soon from this world. Everyone especially his brother Billie knew the meaning of duty, responsibility, love and kindness. Eddie will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

Vicki I am praying for you and your family. Vanessa Bookert
