Obituary for MARTINEZ


Published in the Albuquerque Journal on Sunday February 06, 2011

BEN, 94, went to be with the Lord on January 31, 2011. He was preceded in death by his loving wife, Iola Burch. He is survived by his four sons, Jim Martinez and wife Lydia, Ray Martinez and wife Therese N. Martinez, Gene Martinez and Bob Martinez; He has many loving grandchildren who will miss him greatly - Phil Martinez, Charles Martinez, Richard Martinez, Louise Martinez, Arlene Baca, Vincent Martinez, Michael Martinez; and many loving great and great-great grandchildren. Grandpa Ben always had a smile and a joke for everyone who was fortunate enough to pass his way. He loved his cats, gave us all the gift of laughter and brought great joy to our lives. We are happy to report he has made it to HEAVEN and that we will reunite with him one day. John 3:16
