David John Bennett

With deepest sympathy to Linda and family on behalf of the Little Rhody Pontiac Chapter. David will truly be missed by everyone. He is responsible for everything that we now enjoy in POCI today. He was a pioneer; never afraid to step out of the box to correct or improve on what he felt was necessary. He was passionate about everything especially his family. We will always remember David as the man with a beaming smile and an infectious laugh that could brighten up any day.

To Dave's Family, friends and all Pontiac Supporters:

We have lost a friend and he will be sorely missed.

From the Board of Directors, Staff and Members of the GTO Association of America

On behalf of the KC Arrowhead Chapter, Chapter 45, we wish to express our deepest sympathy to Dave's entire family. We shared in his love of Pontiacs, the people and the POCI organization. He will be missed.

On behalf of the KC Arrowhead chapter we wish to express our condolences to Daves family.

He loved Pontiacs, the people and the club. He will be Missed

All of us at POCI have lost a friend. Dave was a "mover and shaker" in a way that brought people together. I hope to meet him again at that drag strip in the sky.

Dave will be missed by all his POCI friends. He was a "mover and shaker" in a way that brought people together. I hope we meet again in that drag strip in the sky.

Speaking for the membership of our chapter, my deepest sympathies on your loss. I've known Dave for several years and greatly appreciate his dedication and leadership to POCI. He always had a big heart and big smile to go with it. He will be missed!

I met Dave a few times with my Dad (Glenn).  He was very nice, friendly, and fun to talk and listen to.  I hope He and my Dad can - light the fires and spin the tires - up there because they would have a blast.  My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

It's never easy when you lose someone so senselessly and unexpectedly. No one truly comprehends the loss that you feel, the sadness that you must be going through...
And yet, warm thoughts are reaching out in hopes that you will know
the strength and comfort that this wishes you.

Our Deepest Sympathies to Dave's wife, Linda; his children, grandchildren and friends,

Michigan Widetrackers Chapter 16 of POCI

We are deeply saddened to hear of your loss. Our thoughts are with you. Our deepest condolances to Dave's family and friends on his passing. We remember a couple of years ago when Dave approached me at Charleston WV to become the club store.  Thats when we first met. We will miss his smiling friendly face who always had something nice to say about our merchandise and us.
                             Your P.O.C.I. store.

My deepest condolances to Dave's family and friends on his passing.  I'd known Dave through our mutual love of Pontiacs, and had talked to him at various POCI meets.  He will be missed.

 To Dave's family,

I only knew Dave through POCI events, mainly the national conventions and drag race events, but we enjoyed his assistance and presence at each event. He will definitely be missed.

We will keep you in our prayers.

Ken Davis

Linda, Dave, Luke, Sarah, Cinda, Elizabeth, Ruby, Rose, Lauren and Tiffany.  Mike and I can't express how horribly sad we are with the news of Dave's passing.  Memories flooded back to us remembering the first time we met in Denver and the escapades in the hotel pool with the children.  Every POCI convention Dave would greet us with his wonderful smile as he was running to take care of something for the club.  Our thoughts and prayers are being sent to you all in your time of grief.  May God Bless you all and hold you in his arms during your time of need.   All of the POCI family will miss Dave and his smile forever! RIP Dave, may you always have the tank full and the road wide open!

I did not know David Bennet personally. But like thousands of other Pontiac owners, I knew I liked him alot. I looked forward to reading his monthly column for his insight and his humor. He dedicated himself to the hobby and that dedication meant greater enjoyment for thousands of men and women, like me, he never met.

From the photos I've seen of David and his family, I can see he was also greatly dedicated to those who loved him like no others. To those family members and friends, I can only say I'm deeply sorry for your loss. David made life more enjoyable for thousands and that's a tribute few in this world are able to accomplish.

Dave was a great leader and friend to all. He will be sorely missed.

On behalf of the Omaha Pontiac GMC Oakland Show and its two host clubs, please accept our sincere condolences on your loss.  Dave was a good friend of our show, and a wonderful ambassador for the POCI.  Our hobby is better for having Dave as an advocate.

He will be dearly missed.

Linda I am so sorry for your loss, Dave was one of the nicest,  and most personable guys I have ever known.   He was a friend to all from the moment he met someone.  He will be sorely missed by all of us.  We will pray for the repose of his soul.
