who also lived in Ajo, Az and went to school with him. He was a wonderful person. May he rest in peace.

Have just learned today that Mr. Nogales passed to the other side.  I would like to extend condolences to Florine and all the family, relatives and friends.  No words can truly convey the heartfelt sorrow at your loss.  May the Creator and Giver of Life bless Jose and grant him eternal peace and rest.  God Bless all who mourn.  J.C. Preston, San Xavier Indian Reservation.

I hadnt seen Jose since our days at Ajo High School but ive never forgotten him. God bless you Jose.

i only met you a few times but your the father to the man i love! He loved you so much !

There have been so many times that I have thought of you...your attention to detail, the "science" that you put into throwing.  You coached the minute details that others did not, and your success was in the quiet confidence of your instruction.  You gained the respect of your students and athletes by your knowledge and success.  You were a mentor to me without knowing it.  As I age, I realize how good you really were.  I don't think you ever knew how many lives you touched.

Joe I respected you for your integrity and constant support of students.  The world has lost a solid and strong man.  I suspect that Hoss was ready to welcome you and is today introducing you to the other track and field coaches on Gods Team
