William Raymond Bennett passed away on Wednesday surrounded by family at Greenwood House at age 92.

Ray, as he was known by everyone, was one of the kindest and most gentle souls you could ever hope to meet. Born and raised in Trenton, NJ, he developed a love of singing and dancing as a young boy. Later, he proudly served in the United States Navy, and his eyes would light up any time he was asked about his ship, the USS Roanoke. He was the type of person who was always willing to help another person, and he always made it a point to show his appreciation for others with a kind and genuine “thank you”. He was a loving husband, a wonderful father, and the perfect example of what a grandfather should be.

He is predeceased by his wife of 50 years- Mary Marilyn Amburg, his sons- Bruce Michael Bennett and William Raymond Bennett Jr, his parents Philip and Marjorie and his sisters - Phyllis and Dorothea. He is survived by his 3 grandchildren, Lisa Bennett, Kyle Bennett and Lindsay Bennett, his daughter in law, Betty Bennett, his sister-in-law Margaret Beaston and many nieces and nephews.
