With great sorrow we share that our founder, Lonnie Benn, passed away recently. He was active in the welding industry for over 50 years, serving as a welder, sales representative, certified welding inspector, and welding instructor.
Anvil Welding Instruction has proudly graduated hundreds of students as certified welders, launching meaningful careers and equipping them with life-long skills. We look forward to continuing that legacy by training and graduating hundreds more in the years ahead.
A “Celebration of Life” service will be held at 3.00 pm on Friday, May 15th at Spokane Dream Center, 2128 N Pines Rd Suite 17, Spokane Valley, WA. Thank you for keeping the family in your thoughts and prayers. In lieu of flowers, please feel free to donate to your favorite charity or to the Spokane Dream Center. Lonnie Benn
