Harold Corrtwell Bennett, Jr., 78, of Gordonsville, VA, passed away peacefully at his home on Thursday, December 21, 2023, surrounded by loved ones. He was born on January 24, 1945, in Suffern, NY, to the late Harold and Anna Bennett. Mr. Bennett proudly served our country in the United States Navy and would often talk about his love of being a Navy Veteran. He had a passion and talent for woodwork, making countless beautiful things to give away to others, never to sell. You would find him most days sitting on his front porch, enjoying the sunshine and a good cup of coffee. This was his favorite place to be. At the holidays he loved his beloved anise cookies. He will be remembered as a hardworking man who loved his family, especially his grandchildren, deeply. He is survived by his loving wife, who he was blessed to spend the past 35 years, Joan Donton; his children, Shannon Bennett, and Karyn Frack (husband, Daniel); his grandchildren, Madison McCarthy, Abigail Frack, and Lukas Frack; his sister, Margaret O'Neil; and numerous nieces, nephews, extended family, and friends. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his grandson, Aiden; and his stepson, Kevin. A service for Mr. Bennett may be announced at a later date.
