Perry "Benny" V. Castle

Perry V. “Benny” Castle, 73, of Deerfield, passed away peacefully on Sunday morning January 19, 2020 at his daughter’s home in Quinton Township.  Born in Drift, KY, he was the son of the late Donald L. and Goldie M. Castle (nee Sexton).

A nurseryman by trade, he had worked for Harmony Valley Nursery in Upper Deerfield Township for many years prior to his retirement.  Benny was avid hunter and angler but his true passion was in painting.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by four brothers, Tommy, Richard, Wade and Larry Castle.

Relatives and friends are invited to attend a memorial service on Thursday afternoon, January 23rd at 3 o’clock at the Freitag Funeral Home, 137 W. Commerce Street in Bridgeton with family friend, Dawn Roeske officiating.
