I knew Benito from the days we went to Santa Familia primary school , he always was friendly and honest student. Since then we’ve been very good friends . Sometimes he would call me and sometimes I would call him . I will miss him RIP. My Friend.

Though I only knew Benito as my daughter's much-loved neighbor for many years and J.R. was my grandson's friend. But I found out what a special person he was to children when my great-granddaughter (3) began to talk about Benito. I was there, at times, when she'd see him walking and call his name - he would respond in turn. When he went into the hospital, Kathryn was very concerned and told me to pray for Benito - she talked of him for several days, reminding me that he was in the hospital. I read similar acts of kindness from others who knew him better than I did, but I know he was a blessing in the eyes of a little girl - and that makes him special to me. May good memories keep him near to your heart.

We send our love & prayers to each of you. Ben leaves a legacy. A giant of a man. He loved his family tremendously. You are now at rest with your sweet soft spoken wife, Tere. I was afraid of him when he spoke especially when in his uniform. Buttons on that uniform shining brilliantly, shoe well polished and not a crease in that uniform. Spick and Span. Sat me down one day and said, asi hablo no tengas miedo. I nodded feeling happy. His gifts so precious including a little toy iron with a cord that you stick on a wall hoping it would get hot. I am comforted knowing that he knew how much we cared for him and he for us. The beautiful memories I forever cherish. Ben, I pray for the repose of your soul and may perpetual light shine upon you. Hugs, Flori and Family + Mom is thinking of all of you. She's sad. We know the deep love they both had and the chats. She is praying for you all and sends her pesame and abrazos..

My heartfelt condolences to each of you. I have memories of your dad's hearty laughter. I remember him as the best police officer a child could look up to, first he would look at you seriously and then he would burst in laughter. May his soul rest in God's peace. I pray for God's comfort upon each one of you. He was a great man. He died on the feast day of St. Leo the great! Sending hugs to each of you. Love, Daria and family.
