Benny, you were always such a good upper classman. I can still see you walking about campus with that big smile on your face. We also had some good times together at the First Christian Church just across the street from our high school. You will always be remembered and missed.

Bennie Bob Coe plus several other neighborhood kids, including Jack and Jim Purvis, Bill Hart, Dale Fry, my brother Tom Miller and me, Jerry Miller, played "sand lot" softball in our hometown of Owasso, Oklahoma back in the mid 1950's. The "vacant lot" softball field was just across the street from my home. Bennie lived just one block east.

I was in Vietnam in 1970-71 assigned to MACS-4 (Fwd) at Monkey Mountain, Danang. It really "cut deep" when I heard that Bennie was killed in Vietnam. Rest Well, Bennie, my childhood softball buddy, my prayers are with you and your family.
