I'm at a loss because my Great Uncle Bennett (he always made sure I remembered
the "great" part) won't be feeding me his ideas in theoretical physics anymore. Here's to you, Uncle Bennett.

Dear Zena and family
I am so so sorry with the loss of Bub's.
I have nothing but the fondest memories growing up with your family from Omaha to Vegas.
Bub's always had a smile on his face and advice for anyone that needed it.
73 years of love is very special and rare.
Our hearts and prayers are with all of you and may his memory be a blessing.
All our love
Andrea, Ted , Lindsey and Michael Gorelick

Uncle Bubs took me in as family and fulfilled a relationship over the years that meant so much to me. We have great memories of him living in Las Vegas, attending services together, and sharing a cruise together with Zena and him to Italy and other ports of interest. He and Aunt Zena have set the standard for us all in how to have a solid family in life. I will love and miss him until we are all together again.

Zena, there are special people whom we should look to as models of the way to live.
You and your dear Bennett are such models.
Bennett's always smiling, always helpful is an example of that person.
You know I love you, along with so many others.
Please accept my condolences.
May your dear Bennett be remembered for a blessing.
Love, Janie

We have lost our favorite Uncle from this world, but his inspirations during our lifetimes were shaped by his and Aunt Zena's values and beliefs. Nobody, was more pragmatic and accepting of how to deal with life and this Pandemic. He recommended a 5pm Vodka (no rocks or water) to toast the day.
For those of you who did not know or forgot, he could grow beautiful vegetables and flowers. He made an orchid I thought I destroyed and sent to Chicago grow and bloom into the most beautiful plant I have ever seen. He may be gone from our world but I know he is still with us in spirit.
Love always,
