In Remembrance of Dan MacNeil

March 14, 2014

On March 13, 2014 we lost a very dear member of the Bennett Family. Dan MacNeil, President of Bennett Truck Transport, passed away in his home at the age of 67. He is survived by his wife, Karen, his four children, Daniel, Shane, Paul, and Lisa, and his three grandchildren, Nathaniel, Jordan, and Jentry. He was to welcome a fourth grandchild, Danaka, very soon.

Dan had been in the manufactured housing business for 30 years. We were blessed to have Dan with us here at Bennett since 2002, having a distinguished career in business development and most recently as the inspirational leader for the entire business unit.

Dan was a wonderful man and will be missed by all! Continue to keep his family in your prayers in the days and weeks to come.

Please leave your remembrances of Dan, and thoughts and prayers for his family in the comments below.
