Our condolences to the family of Stan Bennett, longtime president of Oakhurst Dairy, who died Wednesday. He was 64-years-old.
His family tells NEWS CENTER that he passed away after a battle with pancreatic cancer. Bennett was most recently Chairman of the Board, CEO and Vice President of Strategic Planning at Oakhurst.
After receiving his law degree from the Boston University School of Law in 1972, Bennett began working for Oakhurst Dairy — the company founded by his grandfather.
By 1983, Bennett was president of the company, a job he would hold for 28 years. In 1999, after the passing of his father, Bennett became Chairman of the Board.
Bennett is survived by his three children and former wife as well as six brothers and sisters.
