His name was Terry Bennett. Even since high school he would always be there to help anyone that needed. He was a straight A student, got a full scholarship to Bucknell. Came back to our HS as a now College Graduate to mentor and coach the younger boys. He was the perfect example of being a good decent man. He would always be there to help anyone in need. May you rest peacefully Terry. I’m so sorry this happened to you.
