"Benito was a awesome man I enjoyed walking down the street and always talking or wavein at him he was a good friend of mine and I miss him dearly. I remember having this black shirt that had a ultra sound pic on it and every time I wore that shirt Benito would say "that's my baby" I just laughed and was like ok banito what ever you say."
In loving memory of
