Thank you for your prayers and thoughts with the passing of my father this past week. We were lucky to know time was closing in.

He was one good dude from start to finish.

Said it many times..POG people are the best.
Your friend,

My good friend Tom,
We were seperated for many years after meeting that weekend in Sacremento for the Hangtown National but just a few short weeks back we met up again and it was truly a memorable moment for me. Charlene and I are very sad to hear of your loss and we are praying for the entire Benoklin family and if there's anything we can do to help you in this most trying of times you know where to find me at. Like mine, your father was a huge part of your upbringing within this industry we so dealry love. If you need to find me quickly and cannot locate me TK knows how to contact me and i'll be glad to get back to you asap. Take care my friend and GODSPEED Mr. Benoklin.

All is well in the Benolkin camp as we prepare for a family Superbowl party. Working out details to send my son TJ south to hang out with Mom in Florida and get a real taste of that southern twang in the music..

Thanks again!

Tom, sorry for your loss, a bit of advice after 20 plus years of being where you are. You will get through it but never get over it, you will think of him everyday and be glad he was your DAD.
  From the bottom of my soul, God speed to Papa Benolkin.
