Words like thoughtful, humble, helpful, consistent, steadfast and caring come to my mind when I think about Bentley. I was about eight years old when my Grandmother, Bernice Palmer and Bentley were friends. My Mother and I lived in the states at the time, and would come home to visit. Bentley was striking. He commanded attention quietly. He smiled and enjoyed the life around him, and never quieted us 'active' children down. He seemed to enjoy and encourage our spirits. He was an important type of man to be exposed to as a young person. When I saw him about four years ago, he was exactly the same caring person, only with grey hair. big smile. I am saddened knowing that he no longer walks the Earth. To his family and friends, we are all better for having his subtle breeze blow over our faces. Sheri
