Jack C. Bennett left this world peacefully on November 10, 2015 in the arms of his loving wife Judy of 51 years and his beloved daughter, Erin, in his own home as he wished. He was born April 29, 1938, in Buckhannon, WV, to the late Margaret Trusler Bennett and Troy Gilbert Bennett.
He is survived by wife, Judy R.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his brother, John Dale Bennett.
Jack was a 1957 graduate of Notre Dame High School where he lettered in football and basketball. His nickname was “Speedy.” He was a Catholic for most of his life until he became a member of the old Reynoldsville Christian Church and later attended the United Methodist Temple.
Jack was a wonderful, loving, devoted husband and father who had many, many friends.
He loved to golf and was a member of the Lake Floyd Golf Club. He had also been a member of the Union Carbide Bowling League. He was always athletic and loved sports.
He served for six years in the Army Reserves. He worked for PPG Industries for 16 years until its closing, then worked for 11 years at Union Carbide until he took a job with the WV Plumbers and Steamfitters Local 152 in Morgantown, WV. One of his last jobs working for the Union was working on the construction of the first FBI facility in Bridgeport. He dearly loved his job and never missed a day of work. He took great pride in all that he did and was ready and willing to help anyone and anywhere he was needed.
Many thanks to his doctor, Haeley Harman and her nurses, Sandy and Mary Jo for all their help and kindness. Also many thanks to the staff of Amedisys of Anmoore who were a tremendous help and comfort in his last days. A special thanks to his sister Jeanie Bombardiere for all her love and support.
