Benigno Martinez Our Lord and Savior called Bennie home to join his beloved wife, Clara, in the holy kingdom on Sunday, Nov. 22, in his 92nd year. Our cheerful, loving father left an enduring mark on our hearts. He will be greatly missed by his children, Della Martinez, Theresa Austill (Lyle), Frances Rogers, Raymond (Linda), Diane Morrell (Jim), Monica Higgins (Bill), Christopher (Beza), and brother to Augustine, MaryLou, and Rose. Family was everything to Bennie. There was nothing he loved more than to be with his family. It didn’t matter if you were a brother, great-grandchild or second-twice-removed cousin; you were family and were always welcomed into the Martinez home. Bennie was a gentle and humble patriarch father, grandfather and great-grandfather of our family. He had a significant presence in the lives of his children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren.
