Benny was a member of St. Mary Magdalen Parish and a lifelong resident of Abbeville. He served many years as a Eucharistic Minister visiting the infirmed at home and in the hospital. He was a Marine Corps Veteran who served in the Pacific during WWII. Benny built a very successful career as the owner of several businesses, including Bohrer Chemical and Supply, American Pools, Gulf Coast Mobile Homes, and Cypress Village mobile home park.
One of Benny's greatest pleasures was spending time with his family and his many lifelong friends.
The family wishes to express gratitude for the exceptional care of Hospice of Acadianna and also to the staff of Maison du Monde for their compassionate, gentle, and loving care shown each day.
In lieu of flowers the family prefers donations to Mt. Carmel Elementary School or Hospice of Acadiana, 2600 Johnston Street, Suite 200, Lafayette, LA 70503, or the charity of your choice.
