Happy Heavenly Birthday Daddy
Happy heavenly birthday daddy and I miss you each and everyday and I want to tell you how blessed i am in having you as my daddy and the persion that I have become today is because of the work ethics you gave to me and to be independent and to help others even if they do you wrong. I am grateful to carry your last name and you left behind a legendary work ethic that people still remember you when they ask who my parents were. He was so hard working and nice to everyone and you left behind a memory in their life that makes me feel happy that they still remember you. Daddy always know that I know that your watching over me and our little families that has become so small in the past decade. Just continue to watch over me and family and love you and until we meet again daddy. Much Hugs to you always.
Grandpa
Benny was a great grandpa to his grandchildren and raised two of them as his own Angel and Shawn Jr. They lived in Parshall, North Dakota, across from the CHR building where their grandpa was employed so basically he just had to walk to work but always drove his vehicle. He would always take them to Minot to go and eat at the Royal Fork and to shop for their groceries. He would take them to the basketball games to cheer on the team of the Parshall Braves but Benny would follow any of the teams in the surrounding communities whether it was Parshall, New Town, White Shield, Mandaree, etc.
Benny also enjoyed Bingo and would take Angel and I to play and instead of saying Bonanza he would say Bolanza.:) i miss him so much and thinking of the times that we shared will always carry on in my heart always now and forever.
Angel & Shawn will always carry him close in their hearts because he was not only their grandpa but raised them as his own. He loved them both so much and that means alot to me because Shawn is my son and his grandpa is always close in heart and to this day he still remembers his Grandpa sitting on his pink rocking chair that he had like forever and would not get rid of that recliner or his slippers.
Father
My memories of my dad Benny were of just being able to go and sit with him on a daily basis and check on him. We would visit and sometimes when I looked at him he was sleeping and I just continued to sit with him and he would wake up and ask what i said. Whenever I had problems that i needed someone to talk to it was my dad that i went to because he always knew just what to say and make me feel better. My dad was such a caring compassionate father and passed his values upon us children and to this day I tell them to my children who never got the chance to spend quality time with their grandpa. But, i have pictures that I show them when he was younger because my dad was not a person that enjoyed having his picture taken so we were lucky to have what we got.
One of the sayings that i remember is "You need to work for what you want because nothing is going to be handed to you". To this day i say the same to my children because it is very true a person needs to work for what they earn because nothing is just given to a person ever. And I appreciate my dad to pass these values onto me so i can teach my children the same. I love and miss my dad so much and will always hold a special place in my heart for him.
