Mrs. Toni Baker,
The photo says it all. What an amazing shot for remembrance. Bennie could light up any place with his million dollar smile. He would light up any basketball court with his razor sharp jump shot and unforgiving drives to the basket. He was the light in the community as a good neighbor, friend, brother, son, father, husband, model police officer and much more. Bennie was a true legend in our community. Most importantly, Bennie was a servant of God who shared his talents with many just as God had ordained him to do. Bennie was predestined to lead and serve and he did. The Bible says “well done my faithful servant” (Matt. 25.23) and I would apply this to Bennie’s legacy. I believe Bennie fulfilled his purpose here on earth and you and the family have much to be proud of. May the family receive the Peace of God knowing that he will experience eternal and everlasting life, John 3:16. God bless you and your family.

I relocated to Alaska this past winter, driving the whole way, and Bennie checked in on me to make sure I was safe and OK. He cared about the residents he served and his coworkers.

My heart, mourns for Mrs.Toni and Bennie's family. Bennie, was the kindest neighbor anyone could ever have! As our neighbor, he was a Man, who had worn many hats! He was a great husband to sweet Toni, Police officer, skater, ball player, lawn master, and a Barber just to name a few! And let me just say, my son and I really appreciated his Barbering skills on some Saturday mornings! Bennie, never hesitated to help out the older neighbors, who needed anything, nor to help out a single Mother, with a young son, struggling with up keep of a home, that she knew nothing about! Bennie would often see us struggling in our yard, with planting flowers, mowing the lawn, to over grown bushes & tree branches! Anyone, who knew Bennie, knew that he would give corrective criticism, then apologize for politely telling you how to do things the right way! Next thing I know, we'll look around and here comes Bennie with the proper tools, to get the job done! Lol, I was just so happy, that he'd helped us along the way! Btw, our yard never looked as nice & manicured, as he & Mrs. Toni's. I could go on & on! However, Bennie's gonna be greatly missed! He was just an all around great guy! Be Blessed & stay encouraged! For anyone who believes, ""We all loved him, but GOD loved him best".. Your neighbors, Tanesha & Dylan

I can remember you and Chief Lockhart challenging each other to a race every now an then to see who was the fastest. Thanks Bennie, for sharing your faith and giving me and another coworker our first Daily Walk Bible and also for the skills you shared of taking care of my lawn.

My sincere condolences to the entire Baker family. Growing up in the southwood Estates neighborhood, Bennie was one of the basketball players for the neighborhood. We would see him rolling in his light blue Volkswagen Beetle and watch the competitions held at the Robinson’s house from my parents front steps. An avid skater, who sort of taught me how to roller skate. (still can’t roller skate). Hand dancing, I couldn’t do well either. He was the neighborhood friend, big brother, always willing to help whenever and however type of guy. Always had a smile. Bennie will be remembered always. My prayers are of comfort and understanding to his wife, children, siblings and lifetime friends. He was that lifetime friend. RIH Bennie.

My heart, mourns for Mrs.Toni and Bennie's family. Bennie, was the kindest neighbor anyone could ever have! As our neighbor, he was a Man, who had worn many hats! He was a great husband to sweet Toni, Police officer, skater, ball player, lawn master, and a Barber just to name a few! And let me just say, my son and I really appreciated his Barbering skills on some Saturday mornings! Bennie, never hesitated to help out the older neighbors, who needed anything, nor to help out a single Mother, with a young son, struggling with up keep of a home, that she knew nothing about! Bennie would often see us struggling in our yard, with planting flowers, mowing the lawn, to over grown bushes & tree branches! Anyone, who knew Bennie, knew that he would give corrective criticism, then apologize for politely telling you how to do things the right way! Next thing I know, we'll look around and here comes Bennie with the proper tools, to get the job done! Lol, I was just so happy, that he'd helped us along the way! Btw, our yard never looked as nice & manicured, as he & Mrs. Toni's. I could go on & on! However, Bennie's gonna be greatly missed! He was just an all around great guy! Be Blessed & stay encouraged! For anyone who believes, ""We all loved him, but GOD loved him best".. Your neighbors, Tanesha & Dylan

Please find comfort in knowing that warm thoughts and sympathy are with you during this time. Bennie & I were friends since Warrensville school days, skating partners and neighbors during our apartment days on Walford. He was a wonderful friend, always willing to help others and will truly be missed. May wonderful memories remain in your hearts forever.

My heart broke when I was told that my Big brother in Blue and friend passed away. You were the most athletic, well dressed, dedicated officer, besides Chief Lockhart, that I knew. I can remember you and Chief Lockhart challenging each other to a race every now an then to see who was the fastest. Thanks Bennie, for sharing your faith and giving me and another coworker our first Daily Walk Bible and also for the skills you shared of taking care of my lawn. " Giving it a hair cut as you would say". Toni, I appreciate the warm smiles and professional advice you gave me on several occasions. Sending comfort, peace and prayers your way always.

My sincere condolences to the entire Baker family. Growing up in the southwood Estates neighborhood, Bennie was one of the basketball players for the neighborhood. We would see him rolling in his light blue Volkswagen Beetle and watch the competitions held at the Robinson’s house from my parents front steps. An avid skater, who sort of taught me how to roller skate. (still can’t roller skate). Hand dancing, I couldn’t do well either. He was the neighborhood friend, big brother, always willing to help whenever and however type of guy. Always had a smile. Bennie will be remembered always. My prayers are of comfort and understanding to his wife, children, siblings and lifetime friends. He was that lifetime friend. RIH Bennie.

Ben, I will be ever grateful for your practical candor. You cared enough to tell me that I needed a better car and/or when it was time to replace anything old and raggedy and you were always so right! I will always remember you with special fondness. Lots of love, Jack
