Benny was born in Carson, CA. on 2 APR 52 and attended Carson High School. At the age of 17, still in high school, Benny convinced his parents he needed to help fight the war in Vietnam. Benny enlisted in the Army and served from 1970 to 1973 with a tour in Vietnam as a Helicopter/ Airplane Mechanic and Door Gunner. He then reenlisted and served from 1973 to 1975, completing another tour in Vietnam as an infantryman.
Benny loved working on cars, especially race cars. Benny loved & lived on his boat in the Long Beach Marina.
Benny is survived by brothers, Louie, Art, Angel and sisters, Mary, and Gloria (Texas PGR member).
