I was raised in Peekskill, N. Y., I was a troubled youth growing up. Bennie took time with me, helped to keep me out of trouble, at a very young aged, i met a lot of professional basketball players at rucker park in the Bronx where Bennie played, he also took me on trips to Bob couseys basketball camps, kutsher country club, for a beneifit game for Maurice Stokes. It take a very nice person to do that for anyone, and never no cost to me. Those experiences help prepare me for life, i never forgot him. To the Lake family, he was a very good man.
