Ben J. Valdez

What a handsome picture of my cousin Ben. The times our families got together I always thought he had a comforting voice and was easy to talk to. Smiling and making a joke. I always thought Ben was a movie star. Really. I told him and he just laughed and it was something that I remember growing up. I truly love you and will continue to pray for you all Stella, Mari, Christi, Jon, Patrick and family. My deepest condolenses.

Dear Stella and family. Our deepest sympathies go out to you. It was a pleasure and honor to know Ben. "Sarge" as my father-in-law called him was a true gentleman. May you find comfort and peace in knowing that he is with the Lord in Heaven. Our prayers and thoughts are with you.

Mark & Eva Markulis and Family

On behalf of my mother Diamantina Hernandez, my sister Lupe Hernandez and myself and my husband, Lilia and Mike Stephenson, we extend our deepest condolences to the entire family. Benny was my (Lilia's) Godfather and I remember him as a sweet, sweet man with a very kind heart. My mother has many fond memories of him that go back many decades ago and she enjoys sharing them with us.

Dear Stella and family,
Bob and I were so sad to see that your dear husband Ben had passed away. Though we never knew Ben very well we do remember him as a kind and wonderful man. May all those memories of him help you and yours ease the sorrow of his passing.

God Bless,
Leslie and Bob Galvan

Dear Stella, Christi, Mari, Jon, Patrick and families,
I know this is not an easy time for you but I hope you find comfort in your memories. I remember all of you and have such great memories of how gentle Ben was. We kids surely cause ruckus but Ben never seemed to mind. Your family is the essence of what a loving family truly should be. I know you will find peace in the days to come just remembering the good times you sahres together. Childhood is such a wonderful time and I am so...
