To my Uncle Benny,
I was truly sorry that I couldn’t attend in person and missed your beautiful tribute. Even from afar, it was clear how deeply you were loved, and how much love and care you gave to your family throughout your life.
Thank you for being part of my life as I grew up. I will always cherish that.
I know how much you meant to my father, and I am grateful for what you meant not only to him, but to me as well.
And yes — I truly did always brag to my high school classmates in the Bronx and even to my coworkers at 277 Park Avenue that I had an uncle who was the very best firefighter in New York City.
I am still so proud of you.
Thank you for your life, your service, and your legacy.
With love,
Carlos

I will always remember us watching dumb and dumber as a family in the living room
A funny part in the movie just had happened and the next scene had started. The room was silent and out of nowhere uncle Ben started laughing
The sound of his laughter filled the room
Every time I think of that day I smile
To my Uncle Benny,
May God continue to bless you as you enter the kingdom of God, and reunite with your family. I love you!
Your niece,
Lissy Garcia
My brother lived a full life and I was lucky enough to share many memories with him. We also had a good time together and I will always be grateful for the time we had. He wasn’t just my brother, he was my friend. I love and miss you.
Tio Benny was always ready for a good laugh. Here we are cracking up, not sure we knew about what. We just laughed and enjoyed time together. David Negron
Benny, a good guy who will surely be missed. Cuco
