BENNY CROOKS November 9, 1935 April 7, 2015 Peacefully at the Grace Hospital in Winnipeg, Manitoba at the age of 79 years, Benny went home to his Holy Father. Benny is survived by his loving wife of 57 years of marriage, Marina; son Robert (Jayne) and granddaughter Laurence; son Patrick (Shawna); granddaughter Kaeleigh (Tedyon); great-grandchildren Hannah, Brodie and Aidan; granddaughter Karah (Matt); daughter-in-law Linda McNaughton (George) and granddaughter Mikayla; as well as by his sister Margaret. He was predeceased by his parents Ben and Frances; sons, Byron, Kenneth; daughter-in-law, Barbara; as well as his sisters, Noreen and Mickey. For 24 years Benny was a member of the Canadian Armed Forces after which he spent 17 years as a civil servant working with 17 Wing in Winnipeg. After retiring in 1993 his primary focus became raising Kaeleigh and Karah after the passing of their parents Kenneth and Barbara as family had always been center of his world. Several years of travelling to B.C. to visit family each year came to an end as his health declined in the past decade.

Uncle Benny, you will be missed so much. Our time together while living in Manitoba seemed way too short but you, Aunt Marina and family were never far away in our hearts. Your sweet smile and warm heart will always be a memory. I remember as a little girl how much you and family played such a special part in my life. I wish I could have been there to celebrate your life and comfort our family. Grace and Denny. Love you so much. - Posted by: Grace and Denny Frampton (Uncle Benny) on: Apr 14, 2015

To Marina and family. Dennis and I were saddened to learn of Ben's passing. Sorry to say goodbye but happy to have known and shared time with him throughout the years.

My condolences to Marina, Pat and Bob on the passing of Benny. Marina, you and Benny took on the challenge of raising Ken's two girls so long ago, without hesitation. I have always admired you both for that. Sons, grandchildren and great-grandchildren are such a joy and blessing to fill our lives. With every passing, I have comforted myself with the thought that my loved one would not be alone, but joined with family that have already passed. Hopefully such a thought, Benny joining Byron and Ken, will bring you some measure of comfort. Sincerely, JOY - Posted by: Brenda "Joy", Colin, Aidan, Marcus and Jackson Belton (friend) on: Apr 09, 2015
