I remember Sr.Bento when I was a little girl.My mother worked for him as an office manager,and with time my older brother as well.He actually worked at the gas station on Bathurst and College.Now that was way back.Growing up I remember hearing from my father the connection he had with Sr.Bento.Having had grown up in Africa,there were many passions,debates and opinions pertaining to the massive continent.I loved hearing their opinions, especially if they were different from eachother.Those were quite interesting.On occassion luncheons and dinners were a must between the duo.My dad lost a bestie and I, lost a second father.I'm going to miss hearing"be a good girl",or hearing your stories of Africa.My heart is so saddened that God took you away Sr.Bento.You are a jewel that was taken from many of us.One thing is for sure,nobody in the Portuguese/African community can nor will ever achieve what you have for the people.Near and far.Viva a Angola.Love always Natacha.
