Joe Carminati was my step-father; when I was 4 in 1972 he married my mother w/her 5 children(Dennis, Debrah, Kevin, Teri and Bruce) and he had three children(Angels, Debbie and Todd) ...At one time I used Joe's last name Carminati, in fact: from childhood thru my service time in the Marines people know me by Bruce Sterling Carminati. Joe was rough around the edges and hard to get along with as a father figure. Most who knew him would say he was charismatic and charming...he was a flirt and was a dirty minded old man to the end but very lovable. Joe was a workaholic throughout his entire life...as he retired from PG&E yet he continued working and raising his cattle to the end. Unfortunately I found out via an internet search; as Joe Carminati died Nov 11, 2018...good-bye dad!!!

I have so many memories with you in my life. In fact for 33 years we have been acquainted. I was saddened to see this obituary notice. However it has been a long road to the gates of heaven.  Many years of wonderful memories with you. We took many trips, shared great times and bad times.  Your grandson just turned 30 a couple weeks ago. Lexy just turned 21, unbelievable.  We used to meet at Denny's in the middle of the night to eat and have coffee.  Swap stories and gossip, over a cup of coffee.  I miss all the years that you called every single morning at 7:00 a.m. to tell me good morning. I want to thank you for the pleasure of knowing you, and for the grandson I have because of you. Not for his father, by any means.  You provided me with confidence to get out of the fire, I thank god for you.  I know you are in a much better place, we will meet again, and share more stories.  I love you so very much, and have missed you since the kids didn't allow me to see you.  I have been hurting inside for years.
