While raising his beautiful daughters and son, Benny worked for the Grant County Detention Center and then the Chino and Tyrone mines for many years doing what he loved most, being a mechanic, which was his passion by trade. Benny’s hobbies include wood cutting, working on his trucks, and most of all spending time with his family. He loved talking with his friends, family, and anyone else who would lend him a listening ear talking about his “war” stories and life in general.
