BENNETT Sun City Center, FL - BURTON
EDWIN, almost 90, formerly of
Margate, NJ, and Pompano Beach,
FL, died on October 12, 2022, after
succumbing to a number of chronic
illnesses. He was married to Jean
Lee Bennett, nee Neff, with whom he
recently celebrated their 66th year
together. They successfully raised
three children, resulting in four
grandchildren and two great-grand-
children. Burt was born in Philadel-
phia, the oldest child of Benjamin
and Dorothy (nee Wolfson) Bennett.

He graduated from West Philadel-
phia High School, where he lettered
in basketball, a sport that brought
him a good deal of joy throughout
his life. After four years of service
in the Coast Guard, Burt began a
career in the insurance business,
eventually holding executive posi-
tions in several companies. He also
proudly co-owned and operated a
hotel in Atlantic City for 12 years,
with Jean, Jean’s twin sister Irma
and Irma’s husband Aaron Hafetz.

After leaving the insurance industry,
during the early days of the casino
era, Burt tapped into his industrious
spirit and developed and ran one of
the main bus parking lots in Atlan-
tic City. In his retirement years, Burt
taught himself watch repair, using
an impressive amount of dexterity
and patience to master this delicate
skill. He enjoyed making his many
friends and customers happy by
fixing their treasured timepieces. In
addition, he designed custom-made
pieces that his grandchildren recall
and cherish until today. More re-
cently Burt turned his creativity to
painting, making collages and creat-
ing showpieces by painting abstract
designs on common household
objects. Some of his designs were
used on pillows, cutting boards, and
face masks on the Society6 creative
website under the name Bebart.

Thanks to his charm and easygo-
ing style Burt made friends easily.

Often was the time that the family
would be out, even many miles from
home, and he would run into some-
one he knew. Burt also maintained
lifelong relationships with his child-
hood friends from West Philly. Burt
leaves behind his loving wife Jean,
his children Brad Bennett (Kebby
Berg) of Clinton, NY, Paula (Stan)
Lipski of Sun City Center, and Robin
(Shlomo) Ben-Hur of Vevey, Swit-
zerland. He also leaves his cher-
ished grandchildren Michael (Beth)
and Steven Bennett, and Daniel
and Arielle Ben-Hur, along with his
great-grandchildren Gregory and
River Bennett and his sister Sally.

Burt also had a special relationship
with his nephews Scott, Drew, Larry,
and Glenn Hafetz, and their families.

He will be greatly missed. In lieu of
flowers, the family requests dona-
tions be sent in Burt’s memory to a
charity of your choice. To express
