“Here comes Benny & and the Jets”; that's what my “Dad” would say; when he seen you and your family driving up to grandma & grandpa Ramirez's house on Easy St., when our families came together on special occasions, holiday's or just to visit. Uncle Benny, you will forever be in our hearts and never forgotten. I know you and Benji are high above the heavens; soring like Jets. I Love you and will always cherish our talks and visits. Aunt Rosie, Mario, Caroline, our heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with you and your families. May Gods and Uncle Benny's Love and Grace fill the voids left in your hearts.
God is my Rock, My fortress and My Deliver, 2 Samuel 22:3
