Bennie, It has been ten years since you left. I am sure you and my beloved Janice now share stories about the never to be forgotten days at SMC and CST. I will be joining you soon enough. Janice and I will relive our 65 years together. You and I will recall my efforts to open the holes and pick off a linebacker on 36 sweep. Remember you and I on the bus going to the game at Hamline University? Eternal peace to you fellow "Redman". Gerry Peterson

Dear Pedie and Family,
Please accept my sympathy for the loss of your dear husband Bennie. The last time I saw him was in July of 2008 when he was kind enough to attend Allen's funeral. They had known each other since the "Baghdad" days and when we saw Bennie the two of them immediately had a great story to go into. Bennie was always smiling, always asked how you were and was a gentleman in every sense of the word. How lucky you were to have each other and to have made such a...

I was so sorry to hear of Bennie's passing and wish to extend our heartfelt thoughts and prayers to Pedie and the family. Thanks to Ken Monaco for keeping us informed. I knew him four years at St. Mary's and always looked forward to our homecoming every 5 years. He was everyone's friend. What a great athlete...football captain, baseball outfielder and the intramural basketball trophy. We will all miss him greatly.

I knew Bennie well in the 50’s. I attended high school and graduated in 1952 at De La Salle with Bennie and after my freshman year at Rockhurst College, I transferred to St Mary’s and roomed for two years with Baldasaro, Ken Monaco and Jim Chiarlelli. We graduated in 1956. While we only had a casual friendship for the last fifty plus years since I moved to California, we always had a warm relationship when we did meet.

Benny was a great guy and the sports hero of our DLS clas of "52. I never had any idea his first name was "Baldasaro"-very unique!
I keep large clss picture in my dressing area and think about the guys of the class of '52 often. Most importantly, Benny had some wonderful polo shirts made for our 50th. class reunion of which I have about 5. They are labelled as the "Class of 1952 De LaSalle Military Academy". I wear them frequently and am queried about them on my trips around the U.S....
