Thank you for sharing your time with me, Hot Pastrami & Pool on Jamaica Ave! A core memory made as a 12 year old knucklehead you gave me your time and Love. We last spoke on my 48th birthday in November, I wish I would've shared that memory with you and how important it was to me. Love you Benny!

My dearest Irma, Brenda, Nelson, and their family, Our hearts broke when we heard the loss of your husband and dad Benny. No words can ease the pain you are all going through. May the Lord give you the strength to get you through this difficult time. Many of us who knew Benny would mourn his loss, but remember the great times and love spent with him. My memory of Benny was a kind, funny, and caring person who always puts his family first and helps others in need. I remember our summers together at Sunken Meadow Park, Benny getting there first to get the grills and tables we needed for everyone. He was the life of the party with his jokes to make others laugh, and that contagious smile whoever crossed his path. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers. Rest in peace, Benny, and give Rey, Nadja & papi a hug from me. Until we meet again, Ileana and family
