By Sofia Benavides
Cameron County Commissioner
Pct. 1
"I am greatly saddened by the passing of a great and loyal friend, Gabino Vasquez. Gabino served as my late husband’s (Pete Benavides) Administrative Assistant. He supported Pete wholeheartedly and was an integral part of the administration of Cameron County Precinct 1.
Gabino was considered part of the Benavides Family. Upon my taking office, Gabino continued to serve admirably and loyally until his retirement. Pati Matamoros and I have lost a great partner and friend.
Our most sincere condolences to his wife, Rosa, his sons, Gabino Jr., Ricky, George, Gaby, Don, Edgar and Eloy; his daughters Rosemary Aldretelee and Diana Morin. May He Rest In Peace."
