If your family wants to know what happened to your daughter, visit my website Ariaa.com where not only my name has changed but my life took a remarkable direction 21 years ago. I have been searching for you for years and only today found I am too late. So sad that there is no mention that you had 2 daughters with your beloved Gayle Meraz in 1954 and 1956. Perhaps now that you are in heaven you will look down and see what you missed in never getting to know me. God bless your soul, may you rest in peace. Ariaa (Kathryn)

Donna, my heart and prayers goes out to you during this difficult time in your life. Benny will always be in my thoughts when playing golf or when at the LCC. His smile was contagious. Truly a good friend who deeply cared for those around him. I shall miss him.

I'm so, so sorry for your loss. I haven't seen him since I was a little girl, but I remember him as a great man who loved his family and raised some great kids. Shelley Watts Stevenson

I played at least 100 rounds of golf with Benny. I can't tell you how many times he almost through me off the cart when he would turn unexpextedly. He always made me laugh, he always made it fun, he told lots of story's and he alway's won. If I shot 78 he would shoot 76, If I shot 82 he would shoot 76. He was one of those guys that everyone wanted to be around. I also worked with him for many years in car business. One thing was always clear- that was how much he loved Donna. He talked about her all the time. I will mis him alot an think of him often.

Donna, we're thinking of you. Bud and loved being around you and Bennie at Starliter's Dance Club and we have missed you. Bennie was so gregarious and fun and he and Bud hit it off right away. I have never seen more beautiful dancers than you and Bennie. Now he's dancing in heaven and we are missing him here. Our love to you, Donna. Martha and Bud Burger, Duncan.

Benny will be missed. He always had a smile on his face and that wonderful laugh. Golfing with Benny was never dull. Last time I played with him he had a hole-in-one!!
Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you, Donna and the Meraz family.

Benny was a man's man. I don't know if I've ever met someone with more class, charisma and humor. As a young college student at Cameron University, Benny and Donna made ballroom dancing seem so cool and fun When I began my career as a reporter, I ran into Benny again. This time he was raising money to bring tasers to the Lawton Police Department. Today it's a standard part of their uniform. He was a wonderful man and I'm so glad I got to know him.
