JACK L. BENSINGER SR. JUNE 3, 1942-JUNE 3, 2024

Jack L. Bensinger Sr. passed away on his birthday, June 3, 2024. He was a proud farmer, owner of Jacks Spot and lifelong resident of Pitman. He was a graduate of Tri-Valley High School.

He is survived by his three children, Ruth and Dan Audet, Jack Bensinger Jr. and Susan Bensinger; three grandchildren, Sara and Joshua Herring, Katie Wenrich and JR (Wayne) and Kendra Wenrich; three great grandsons Hunter, Oliver and Jack as well as a bonus great granddaughter, Karsyn; a nephew Glen and Alice Bensinger and nieces Joan and Henry Conrad, Carol and David Herb and Brenda and Rick Knorr.

He was preceded in death by parents Sara and Raymond Bensinger and brothers Ernest and Robert and business partner Anita Shissler.

Dad lived every day to the fullest. He loved being surrounded by people and no one was a stranger. Notorious for making everyone feel welcomed and adding the fun and laughter to a gathering making him a successful bar owner. He was born on the generational family farm which he continued to lovingly care for his entire life. He passed his love of farming to his daughters, although we call it gardening, which always made Dad laugh. He was an avid hunter and, of course, pigeons were a passion. Most nights he could be heard saying, "How about three quick ones," which of course was followed by "whiskey" while enjoying the companionship of his fellow Euchre players.

Jack will be missed by many but no one more than his children.

Buffington-Reed Funeral Home, Valley View, is in charge of arrangements.
