I miss you Benny Boy.  Hope all is well up there and that you're hanging out and having laughs with Cheegelo. RIP

I'm so sorry to be reading this about Benny's passing. He knew my dad, from the North End also. My condolences to the entire family.  Roseann Ferrante. God bless.

When I was child the DeChristoforo’s  owned the house across from my grandparents in North Weymouth, in tbe enclave of Fort Point…Vince was the patriarch to the DeChristoforo’s.. 
  This community of Prohibition Era summer cottages were insulated (and then inhabitated) and the neighborhood was so insular we were essentially one large extended family. 
   I’m so sorry to hear of your father’s passing. 

BENNY WAS PROBABLE THE BEST PERSON I EVER MET IN MY LIFETIME.HE WAS A BROTHER AND BEST FRIEND AND ALWAYS GOING OUT OF HIS WAY TO HELP YOU IN ANY WAY HE COULD.I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU BUDDY AND MAY GOD BLESS YOU.

 Hard for me to wrap my head around this. Working for this family as long as I have. I have so many stories and memories of senior it would be impossible to share them all. God speed and rest easy Benny. And to the Lucille; Dana, Benny, and the kids my condolences from the bottom of my heart. 

Benny was the most wonderful guy. He was always so much fun to be with. He was kind, generous, patient (certainly very patient with me on the golf course - he was the best teacher.)  My father and I will miss him terribly.  I am so heartbroken he’s gone.   
With sympathy,
Elizabeth 

Benny filled our hearts with so much joy and now with such sorrow.  We will miss you friend.

Love, Cindy Conrad & Al Valenti

One of the greatest guys I knew. We had good times at Carroll's Diner. Him and his Father were the best. And he made a great shrimp scampi! So many fond memories. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.

I had the pleasure and was blessed to have known Benny.  My thoughts and prayers go out to his wife, Lucille and family at this most difficult time, and I pray that your many wonderful memories will bring you peace.   Benny was a gentleman, extremely generous and a class act.   I will miss you my friend.  The world is dimmer without you in it.  RIP  -  David O’Donnell, Lori Fusco O’Donnell, Hayden & Anthony

Lucille and family,
My sincere condolences for your loss.  May all your memories of him bring you peace and comfort in the coming days.  
I will always remember Benny’s kindness and his warm smile.

Ben was a real gentleman, good husband,  fine  father and unselfishly generous. 
He is never angry and he is worthy of emulation. 

Lucile and the children,  pls accept my sympathies. 

God speak to your hearts at this time.

Dear Lucille, Dana and Benny, 

I was so sorry to hear of Benny’s death.  We have such good memories of our years at St. Joseph school and Mother’s club.  We always had such wonderful times working together and doing good at the same time.  

We miss seeing you and hopefully we can get together soon.

Love, 
Judy Lonergan

I'm so sorry to hear this news. To the family please accept my condolences. I knew Benny senior very well, he was like an uncle to me. He frequently would drop by my parent's house while I was growing up.  As I grew older I knew Benny Boy, which is what I called him. I liked his smile and his charm. Like his Dad, he had a good heart.
I no longer live in MA, I now live in Florida and will be thinking of Benny Boy, May He rest in Peace and join his mother and father.

Dear Lucille and family.  I am so sorry to hear of the passing of such a kind and gentle man. I have such wonderful memories of his smile and kindness while growing up on Sheafe street. Always a gentleman. May you find comfort in knowing how much he will be missed. You are all in my prayers. God bless ⚓️💙⚓️

This photo of Benny is so perfect. It shows the joy he had for living and his love for Lucille and family and friends he loved and trusted. Johnny is broken hearted and I’ll miss him too.  If there is anything we can do please know we are here.   Julie and John Ischia

There are no words to express how broken hearted we are over the loss of Benny. I met Benny about 25 years ago and it was an instant connection. He was so full of life and he loved his family and friends deeply. He enjoyed gathering more than anyone I know. He was a kind, generous, and gracious gentleman.

The North End and Pine Point Beach will not be the same without his presence. Our heartfelt condolences to Lucille and family. He will be greatly missed.

Until we meet again, my friend –
Rest in Peace

I am so sorry for the loss of Benny Boy.  He was always one of my favorite people  (and he was always one of my father’s favorites as well!). He will be sorely missed. Keeping all of his loved ones in my prayers…

Benny always welcomed my children and I like his own family.  No matter who I took with me to Maine, we all were welcome.  I watched him smile when we were all on the beach with the music, apps and cocktails, kids flying all over the beach. It was if he was saying, this is what it’s all about. 

He said little, but when he did, they were powerful words of wisdom. He gave me some advice over the years that I hold close to my heart. 

We lost one of the great ones. The angels are rejoicing as we weep. See you at the beach in the sky, Benny. You are sorely missed. I love you as does my entire family. ❤️
