My condolence to the Garcia family.  My memories of Ben are so great. It started with a lot of 1st. Like my 1st camping trip and boat ride. Followed by endless bike rides that always ended at his hamburger joint. I also remember working alone in his back yard with his over size chow chow. Ben, you will be missed. This world mourns the lost of a great man. Andrew Gomez.

There are so many memories of a   Godly life. He was my father's favorite nephew. As a child, I always believed he was my uncle, and Elva, I loved them both, and the family.

Memories dating back to Tia Emily, my dad, and me would visit. Sometimes we waited while she got ready because she was so beautiful and didn't allow anyone to see her a mess. She would holler out, "Go ahead and grab coffee," and we sat many times watching Benjy and the boys in and out of the kitchen with their stereo on.

After my dad's passing, we moved very near to Beny and Elva. They made sure we had food and took me to appointments in Fresno for my acne.  
Then Mom took care of baby Mitchelle. As I grew, I took care of my cousins. Those were memories, Lol.

Then I married and had five children, and mine were cared for by Doree, and yes, they were a handful, too, LOl

I say all of this because Benjy, you represent such an important part of our lives. I love you all so much, and it is heartbreaking. The loss is great, but the love,  memories, and the legacy of a life are greater. You will continue to live in our hearts.

I love you as a family, so near and intertwined with my life, and I will miss you. 

My prayers to you all, just know this is not goodbye, we will see you one day and reunite.  What a beautiful soul.  Con mucho carino, te amo!

Mr. Garcia:  I've known you practically all my life.  I was so sorry and sad to have heard you passed away.  Looking back and thinking of you, you were always so kind and a gentle person.  I actually never saw you mad lol!!  Memories come to mind when you would get your kids bikes and you would modify them and made those bikes look so cool that every kid wanted one just like it.  I even got to ride that cool bike a few times.  Dianne remember the double seat bike your dad bought and you and I would ride it all over the place, and you turn the handle bars one way and I turned them the other way and we fell over!  Oh and that camping trip to Oceano,  Your dad took you and your brothers and sisters along with Vicky Gibble and myself on that camping trip.  Meeting those people camping next to us from New York,  that was fun! And riding in the back of your dad's pickup cruising through Reedley and us girls singing yell songs aloud were from Dinuba!!  Not once did your dad ever get mad or upset with us girls!  And your dad and Mom surprised you on your 16th birthday with a brand new car!! And of coarse from Marten's Chevrolet (Reedley).  And we rode a couple of times  to Reedley on our bikes and always stopped to visit your dad at his job.  
Mr. Garcia you were a great man, wonderful loving husband, father and grandfather.  You will be missed by so many people, your legacy lives on.

Sending our deepest sympathies to the family. We have known Ben for over 30 years and my husband worked with him when he had his body shop across from Martens Chevrolet. He was such a kind and good hearted person. We will miss him dearly. We have a lot of Love for him.

This message comes from the bottom of my heart. I have known Dad G since I was six years old. I think I spent half my life at his house hanging out with his daughter Dianne. He treated me just like one of his kids. He was a wonderful man with such a kind and loving heart.It is hard to say goodbye. I loved him dearly.   Pam

It has been a long time since I worked with my dad Paul Jost in the Parts Dept at Martens Chevrolet.  Ben and I were both motorcyclist and car lovers so we had a lot to chat about.  Many times we chatted a bit to long and my dad would call me at the Body Shop and tell me to get by butt back to work.  I was very proud to call Ben my friend, he was a great human being.
