LUCERO -- Bernardino S. Lucero Sr. passed away Oct 12, 2010, with his family by his side. Bernardino "Benny", 84 years old, was preceded in death by his wife of 62 years, Antonia; and by his sisters, Victoria Martinez and Mabel Sanchez.

Benny served in the United States Army during WWII and was a member of the American Legion Post 69, SNMdeMP Society, VFW and the DAV, giving support to active and retired US military families for many years. Benny was a dedicated husband and father. The memories of the fishing trips, the stories of his time serving overseas, and his patriotic spirit will be missed by all his family and friends. As we reminisce on those mornings, afternoons and even those midnight walks, the sound of his footsteps and the shadow of a proud husband and father linger in our memories. His family will always remember his sense of humor, his constant search for hidden treasures, and his musical talents (especially his infamous horse whistle).
