Baca of Estancia, Dennis Baca and wife, Elaine Baca of Valley Springs, CA; his grandchildren, Martin and Danae Cota, Garrentt, Erin, Kolt Baca, and Buck Baca and Jamie Baca-Behm; great-grandchildren, Justin Baca and Dacey Behm; sister, Sally Ortiz of Santa Fe; sister-in-law, Rita Baca of Pacifica, CA; brother-in-law, Joey Ortiz of Edgewood, NM; numerous cousins, nephews and nieces.

Bennie was a Golden Glove Champion in the 1930's, a member of the National Guard in the 1930's. Papa enjoyed horseback riding, farming, raising vegetables for sale up until 2000. He was the founder of "El Cid Stucco" finally putting his plastering tools to rest when he was in his 70's.
His grandchildren and great-grandchildren were his pride and joy. His generosity, his ornery wit, and the way he wore his hat or caps at a slant on his head, his unconditional love for life and his family will remain in our hearts forever.
