I received this tragic news last night. Bennie was truly one of the nicest people I ever met. During my long tenure at WAVV, Bennie always went the extra mile to accommodate my requests. I will miss him. This is a heavy blow to WAVV as well. As one of the Triumvirate (with Charlie and Pete), a lot of the conference logistics rested on his shoulders. He was a talented hotel and conference venue negotiator, helping to keep WAVV conference fees and hotel rates as low as humanly possible.
