Benino was born August 2, 1922 in Ft. Stockton, Texas to Macedonio and Cleofas Granado. He married Lupe Contreras on January 11, 1963. Benino loved the cowboy way of life and was a true and loyal worker to the ranches he had worked. In his earlier years he was dedicated to Jim McFarlain and his ranch in Baird, and then later began working with Royce Adkins and his race horses. He developed a very close friendship with Royce that lasted many years and respected and admired him for his knowledge and the friendship they had. In 1972, while still working with Royce, Benino began working at the L and N Cattle Ranches in Stevens and Haskell Counties. He was a true and loyal addition to the ranch and was sincerely appreciated in every aspect over many, many years. Benino was a kind and very good hearted man and was "plenty good at what he did". He will certainly never be forgotten and will be missed by many.
He is preceded in death by his parents, Macedonio and Cleofas Granado; 2 sisters, Hilda Alicia Stewart Gay, and Dora Terrazos; 2 brothers, Carlos Granado and Fred Granado.
