Benjamin Corella

Dear Corella family,
I am so sorry to hear about Ben. I met Ben back in 1984 while working at El Modeno. We worked togehter for many years, no matter what... he talked...we listened...after he retired, many times I thought of coming down to San Clemente with the kids to see him surfing...too bad I never did. We have so many memories of him, always talking about Yollie, Cookies, the boys...he told me I was going to marry Guillermo... and I did.

Rest in peace Benito! We'll...

I am so sorry to have just found out about your lost. I met Ben in October 1990, when I started working for El Modeno Gardens, Hollister. He took me under his wing, during my first Christmas kick off meeting. He made sure no one made me feel unconfortable like a dad would do. He was always there to give me advice with work or life in general. I will miss him dearly, but I know he is in a better place. We are all so blessed to have had Ben in our lives. Until we meet again Ben..Love...

Dear Ben,
So 30+ years of knowing you and your family has been a privilege. I have always appreciated your honesty and openness, especially in the last couple of years with the turmoil going on in my life. You have always had such a positive attitude on life and have been an example of how “not to age”, still body surfing, walking, gardening and keeping active with Yollie, that cute wife of yours.
Nobody was more excited about Natalie and the entire Charger Girl thing than you. ...

I wrote this from the heart and on behalf on my family. It was hard to capture his life message in a short speech, he meant so much to so many people. His legacy and teachings will endure forever. His love of life was contagious. I will never forget all the good times we had. Love you Dad.

Eulogy for Ben Corella:
When my Mother and Father met he was working for Western Electric in El Centro, after they were married in 1957, he transferred to Long Beach, CA and they lived...

Corella family,
Alex and I were so sorry to hear about Ben. He will always be remembered to us as a wonderful, life-loving, light-hearted man. He was always so fun to be around. I loved how he embraced every day he had on this earth. I hope I am able to leave the same beautiful "Legacy" that he has.
God Bless all of you during this difficult time.
Alex and Angela Chamberlain & girls.

Ben I met you when I was a shy young girl of only 22 years old. That's 28 plus years of admiring a man who in my eyes was an amazing human being in every way you could imagine. You were a loving and dedicated husband and father. Hard working, intelligent, wise, fearless, emotional, caring and fun. You were a man who embraced important accomplishments with so much passion. You possessed all the valuable qualities that make a person unforgettable and loved; that's what made you so special!...

I already miss you Grandpa. However, I know you are having a great time in heaven! I will always cherish all the wonderful memories we had together.

Love you always and forever- Deanna xoxo

Yoli & family
