[QUOTE="LowRanger, post: 2283446, member: 76443"]I met with Bentley twice this year to surrender some Centenarios. He was a warm, wonderful person and I'm saddened by his absence. He was outgoing and friendly with a ready smile. On my FIRST visit we talked like old friends. As I recall, his dad was with the O.S.S. in WW2 under "Wild" Bill Donovan, precursor to the Central Intelligence Agency. We talked of his father's exploits, Alan Turing (cryptologist who cracked the German "Enigma" cipher machine), and my father's service in WW2. On the second visit his wife was joining him for lunch in the shop while I was there, so it was a brief but cheerful exchange. I can't believe that someone I know and like was actually murdered in my own home town.[/QUOTE]
