Manny Pichardo
In Loving Memory of Angel Manuel “Manolo” Benitez
Manolo was a man of extraordinary kindness, generosity, and warmth. He was one of the brave Cuban Exile CIA Commandos of Makasi who, in 1964 in the Congo, helped rescue 14 children, 9 women, and one man. He was also a proud U.S. Army veteran a hero, a patriot, and a friend.
He lived with integrity, humility, and a heart that welcomed everyone. I am deeply grateful for the moments.
My heartfelt condolences go out to his wife Mercedes and his entire family. May he rest in peace. 🙏🏻🇨🇺🇺🇸
