I got to know Bennie and Amelia from working at a bank. They were among my most pleasant customers. Courteous, polite and kind, I will remember him especially for his work for the city. My deepest condolences. He was a special person.
I have known Bernie for 30 years. When I worked downtown Detroit he would bring in Paczkis he would get from the bakery. The office loved them. Always enjoyed my conversations with him about local Detroit sports especially the Lions & Tigers. When I moved to Lansing Bernie continued to be a client and he and his wife were always so nice to speak with on the phone. I will miss my conversations with Bernie. Hamtramck lost one of its finest.
Benny was a good natured guy. He had a great sense of humor, was fun to be around and shared great stories. He and Emily were my parents’ lifelong friends. Benny, you were a good man and will be remembered with a smile. Hopefully they have you in charge of the pizza in heaven!
You will be missed greatly.
With Love,
Joann Fitzgerald
