The other survivors of Jose are his sister, Norma Romero and niece, Themis Lopez, whom he lived with the last two decades of his life.

Jose loved God, reading his Bible, and spending time with his family & cats. His past times were watching his favorite sport teams in the television, like the Heat, Dolphins, Yankees, plus soccer too. Doing word search puzzles and listening to Spanish music on his pad were other favorite past times of his.

Jose was deeply loved by his family and liked by all who met him. He is in home with God in Heaven.
