Benjamin came to the United States of America, in order to give his children a better life. This was a hard thing for him because no parent can let go of their children; however, he endured it, in order to ensure a better future.

Benjamin loved to play golf, and he loved music, especially singing and playing guitar. He was a good role model of his children and grandchildren with so much inspiration.

He was such a positive man, he was making plans up till the end. He was a good father who would always show concerns to his family and took care of his children and did the best he could to teach and guide them, a loving father and grandfather to many.
