Coach Bentley was one of the most honorable men I have ever met. He was always interested in you as an individual, but liked to win. Many time as my track, football coach he would always offer encouragement to do better., One day at track practice, I ask him How can I run faster? His reply has stayed with me as a life lesson for over 50 years. Coach said Buddy if you want to run faster, just run fasted !!!! He never forgo.t a name......A truly wonderful man, he will be missed

David and Robert, I am so sorry for the loss of your father. I have loved talking to him while he was at Park Place next door to Dad. He will be missed by many of their residents. He always had a smile for everyone. I hope you find peace and comfort in knowing that he had a wonderful life and influenced so many young people's lives.

We fondly remember Mr. Bentley as one of our high school history teachers. In later years, we had the privilege of visiting with him at Park Place when my mother was a resident there. He seemed to really enjoy reminiscing about his years as a teacher, coach, & administrator at BSHS.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Harold was a wonderful man. He was my principal in Jr. High and a great friend of my family. When my son was young he traveled with my parents and often Alice and Harold were there, too, and of course Ginger. Thanks be to God for the good times they had together! He will be missed.

Coach Bentley was an encourager and teacher that made a difference to the boys who played on that state finals team in 1953. He also set a good example as our track coach.
