Obituary

“A steady, quiet man who kept his word and his workshop in equal order.”

Arthur Bennett was an engineer and a father who fixed what was broken and mentored who needed it. He spoke little and meant all of it, kept a garden of tools, and never missed a Sunday call. He is survived by his wife, two children, and a lifetime of people who counted on him.
