Died: 11th Sept 2023

After many a battle with my health, I let go this time on Monday, September 11th, 2023, to join my parents Bert & Isabelle Benfell and my top working dog “Darky”.

Thank you to my amazing wife, Jeanette Benfell.

Your love, devotion, kindness, and support allowed me to live a longer life, more than I could imagine.

I would like others to show support and love to my two sons, Nathan Benfell & Hamish Benfell, my sisters Lorrianne Borthwick, Joy Murray, Irene Benfell – Herron, my brother Stewart Benfell and all their families in my absence.

I didn’t want fuss nor sorrow, so I chose to have a private burial with my family and close friends.

I would also like to acknowledge all the district nurses, carers and the team at Baillie and Lewis Pharmacy who offered such amazing support to me over a number of years. 

Until we meet again, Fred Benfell.
