Benny lived a full life of traveling
and volunteering as an R.S.V.P for

along side his wife of 60 years,
Martha Pessia, who preceded him
in death in June of 2010.
He spent 3 years in the United

walked the devastation in Nagasaki, Japan
after the war, which could have contributed to
his many bouts with cancer in his later years.
The son of Italian immigrants, Benny and
his family made El Segundo their home from
1962, moving eastward from his birthplace in
Bradford, Pennsylvania. He wanted a better
life for his family and chose a small town in
southern California, much like his
beloved Bradford.
He leaves behind to carry on
his legacy and precious memory
three children, two grandchildren
and one great granddaughter,
respectively; Ron Pessia of Hayward,
California; Nancy English
of El Segundo; Perry Pessia of
Tigard, Oregon; Sean English of

Along with his family and many friends

Lord eternally. There will be no formal service
for Benny, however, friends and family will
be contacted for a local intimate gathering in
the near future.
