Manuel Benavides

My condolences go out to the Benavides family. It's been a pleasure knowing him and he will be missed dearly. His excitement for the game of bowling definitely rubbed off on the Alonzo family. We are fortunate that Mr and Mrs Benavides brought wonder children into this world. I see the Benavides family and the Alonzo family as one. Our relationship through the years created outstanding memories that I know will last forever. Thank you for sharing your life with me and my family.

Dear Friends and Family of Mr. Manuel Benavides:

It is with deepest sadness that I extend my condolences to you on the loss of your beloved. There are no words that I can say that will make your loss any easier. However, I would like you to know that I am sincerely thankful for his bravery and great sacrifice to our great country.

As Chair of the Senate Committee on Veteran Affairs and Military Installations, I pray that the deep hurt you feel is in some part eased by...

Mr. Benavides, you are such a caring and generous person, and were a second father to my dad. You will be deeply missed

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

Mr.B; the man and your son Luis who are responsible for introducing the "Alonzo Family" into the game of BOWLING. Because of you, the Benavides family and the Alonzo family continue the game. You were the first family I met who were bowlers and because of you , our families continue to enjoy this sport to this day...In my eyes Mr.B is Mr. BOWLER. You will be missed dearly, but you will always be in my thoughts especially, whenever I walk into a bowling center.

The world has loss a wonderful and very generous person. Manuel "Mr. B" was the most kindness man I ever had the pleasure of calling my friend. He will missed by many and now he is having fun in heaven with Ralph "Pops". May they count the "pin money" together forever and watch over all of us forever.....

My condolences to all of you, Benavides Family. You were blessed to have had him for so many years, and his presence in your lives will have an everlasting impact. Always remember the good - never the bad.

Blessed we are all to have had you as our dear friend "Mr. B". Our lives are much better for having you in it! Our families have been through happy and sad times together.
So today, let us celebrate his life with us. I know there is some good bowling going on somewhere between your angel and ours! Love you all always! Sandy and the Alonzo Crew!
