Joe retired from the City of Newport Beach after 31 years of service...he is a member of the Moose Lodge 1788 in Landers, CA. Joe enjoyed life for 75 years and 9 months, to the fullest until the very end…His honesty brought lots of laughter because it was just that, pure honesty! He loved to make “misery” for all, in his own way and yet somehow brought you happiness! His smile, fun spirit, honesty, loyalty, big heart and his ability to make sure that everyone around him was having an awesome time made him a delight to be around!!!

If we could only turn back time

To fill the empty space

We would turn it back to see your smiling face

If we could only turn back time

So our lives would remain the same

We would have it turning constantly

Just to hear you say our names

Now time is something that we do not have

Our names you’ll say no more

But the memories locked within

Our hearts will help us find the way

We’ll always cherish what we had

We’ll keep loving you everyday

Until we met up yet again

So you can lead the way
