Benno was a very kind man and had a great down-to-earth type of humor. I was only able to get to know him this past year, but you can tell he had great love and will to live. It will be great to see him one day with a strong and whole body. I'm sure the dogs will miss him. Mike

Ben I will forever remember the camping trips in the hill country learning how to hide from the Javelinas, fishing with you and the many fun get togethers at Emil's house. You always had a good sense of humor and fun. I thank you for reminding me that an education is something no one can ever take away. I know you're reunited with mom and finally at peace. My condolences and prayers go out to Fred, Selette, Ramona and the extended family.

Dad you always told me death is just a part of life. It's hard though, you were always so strong, determined, opinionated and confident. I admire you for so many different reasons, but most of all for speaking up for what you believe in. You put your life on the line for this country and I know you would do it again. You have always been a fighter and for that I thank you, if it wasn't for you who knows where I would be. I love you so much Dad even when you made me listen to Janis Joplin...

Dad, I miss you so much. I know you are at peace and I hope heaven is the best casino you've ever seen. The riches are greater and forever plentiful. I still hear your voice, I pray it never fades. I love you Dad.
