Benjamin Benny Gonzalez

My brother Benny was a very dedicated hard-working family man. Even through his illness, he still managed to get up to go to work each day. WOW! I know GOD has a very special place for him in heaven...He could be playing his guitar! Benny will be missed by all of us--he is no longer suffering and is rejoicing in Heaven with mom...Love, Garo (twin)

Benny has moved on to a better place filled with love, happiness and no worries. He will always be remembered and loved by all those who new him. I remember the day Alvin and I visit him at his home on Lafayete. Alvin took out the Cuatro and Benny the Guitar they were jaming and played for about 4 hours. Benny was so excited! That day he was in heaven. Playing the Guitar made him forget he was sick. Uncle Benny was so happy! Something that I always remember about him was the pride that he...

Tio Benny thank you for being such a great uncle. I'll never forget you giving me free candy and my visits to you at the candy store. Especially of you laughing at us when we used to sing and dance along to the Menudo albums. There are too many fond memories to mention...I am so thankful that I had the opportunity to spend precious moments with you in your last months of life. God bless you Tio Benny. I love you and miss you. Yvi

He will be missed dearly but it is never good bye forever only see you later. God has welcomed a wonderful man into his arms and our lives will never be the same.

Benny was a true example of a leader, big brother, father-figure and a real pillar of strength. I remember the look he would give when he wanted you to change your behavior. All you needed was the look and you were instantly corrected. Most fondly I remember that hearty goofy laugh of his filled with so much life. Summers at his house and grandma's were always fun. Occasionally he'd sit out on the porch with us kids and tell stories of his younger days, or counsel us on the finer things in...

Although no words of sympathy can ease the pain, you will always find some comfort in the thought that others care.

WE WILL REMEMBER ..... They shall not grow old, as we are left grow old: Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, We will remember them.

Now you play and sing with the angles as your choir. Though our hearts ache with the loss of one so dear as you, we know God has finally laid his hand upon you and taken your pain away. For those of us ,fortunate enough to know you, your song lives on in our hearts and memories. You were a good man, and a loving husband and father, qualities which will live on in your beautiful children and grandchildren, for you bestowed upon them the most precious of legacies, your love.
Rest now...

Yesterday was a sad day for all of Benny's Family and Friends. On the 20th day of February 1989 I was blessed with a beautiful girlfriend Suzette Gonzalez, Second oldest child of 4. Benny Jr. and most of the other younger Gonzalez's aunts and uncle knew me, but it was Benny Sr. who stood in my way. He was a Tough, Firm and an all around Good Man wrapped in one. I was so surprised when I finally build up the courage to inform him of my love for his daughter, to hear him say; "I've been waiting...
