'This entry comes late, but here it is: I knew this larger than life personality. He was fun and a generous man. I met him while I worked at his local HEB way back in 1995 through 2003. I also met and cared for Uncle Leon on occasion; when Joe would go on his travels to Mexico. Over those several years, we had a platonic friendship. We would go out to dine on occasion, visited the Botanical Gardens...even going to see Basia and Transiberian Orchestra in concert! Vejo Joe (so he liked to call himself), was always up for a good time enjoying life and gardening. He would call me on my mobile just to say hello and tell share his life stories. Joe even dropped in to visit me, while my now husband/then boyfriend, were packing to move out into a bigger apartment. I used to be his neighbor as well; living just across the street from the HEB where we met. He was also a big flirt; he didn't mean any harm by it, he just loved women...and people for that matter. I like his company because he was always jovial, except when getting after his dog, Jared, for getting out of the yard. I often had wondered why the phone calls stopped. So, a couple of years ago, I reluctantly went on-line to find, that he did indeed pass away. I'm only sorry that I didn't make time for him during his later invitations to go out and have a bite to eat and to catch up. I dearly miss "Vejo Joe". May you keep partying up there in the sweet bye and bye. Save a seat for me, would ya?
My heartfelt sympathies for the family, friends and to all who were graced by this very nice man.'

'I knew Joe in Burbank, CA in 1956-1958. He was a wonderful person and a great dancer. So sorry for your families loss.'

'I was so sorry to hear of the loss of your loved one. I'm sending you a hug from afar. Mr. Golibart Jr. was very dear full of life.

'Joe regularly attended the Mahncke Park Neighborhood meetings at Lion's Field Center on Broadway and we regularly sat together & shared laughs. Each fall for the past 20+ years, neighbors have gathered to spread native wildflower seeds in Mahncke Park in memory of area residents that have passed. I will remember Joe as we spread seeds in the park later this year, as well as every spring when the flowers bloom.'

'Joe will be missed by all of us who knew him. I met him when we were in our early teens and worked with him several years at east Kelly. we were in touch quite often over the years. My wife Sherry and I send our condolences.'

'I run the plant sales program at the San Antonio Botanical Garden and I knew Joe through his visits to the Sales Greenhouse at the Garden. He had been a more active volunteer before I got there, having to slow it down a bit for his health. He was always full of life, full of stories, and full of sly wit. My condolences go to all his family and his wide circle of friends and associates.

'Joe was my friend. I always enjoyed it when he would pop into my office for a visit. We talked about many things. He loved his family and friends. He was an awesome dancer! I had the privilege to dance with him a few times over the years. He told me about his many travels. The last time I saw him was about a month ago. I will miss his stories, his laughter, his smile and his friendship. God bless his family.

'I am a Niece of Joe Frank Golibart. His Sister, Shirley Mae Zubek is my Mom. Only recently I was able to build a relationship with Uncle Joe (2 years) he changed my life.

'My Uncle Joe, you will be missed by all of your friend's and family very much. I always lived so far away from you, and never was able to spend time with you in person, though I always loved the phone conversation's that we did have over the telephone. I always loved to listen to your stories. My mother Shirley always kept me updated on your travelling adventures, miles that you did travel, and your family visits. She always spoke so highly of her sweet brother Joe. I loved how you became very close with my sister Sandy. We will miss you, rest peacefully... Dear Uncle Joe. Love your Niece, Denise.'

'I feel like I knew Joe, through his sister, Shirley Mae, my dear friend who, I consider family. Such a trooper he was; driving from Texas to Idaho to visit last year. Such a comedian. No one a stranger..no one an enemy. What a life, Joe! To be revealed in so many hearts across America!! So many will miss your presence..but your place..your eternal home..your mansion..was complete. Your last breath on earth was your first breath in Heaven..in the arms of the Lord. May all the memories your loved ones hold, be forever etched in their souls.'

'My sweet brother Joe was one I admired so very much, he was my only brother. He was blessed with natural talents of fixing things, building things or designing things that is why he was a natural in Engineering and very good at it. My brother was the friendliest person that knew no stranger. His personality was inviting to all. May he be at Peace in Heaven knowing that we will all meet again in Heaven to be at Peace together. He left behind five adult children and grand children - all that he was very very close too and proud of. I loved that he had his pictures and stories to share with all of us when he would visit. We will miss him but remember the love of life he had. I love this picture that is posted.

'My thoughts and prayers for Joe's children and sisters at this time. May God give you comfort.'

'My cousin Joe was always someone I looked up to growing up. He was my oldest male cousin, and was always tinkering with something mechanical or electrical,building model planes and cars. Built our uncle Leon a "HI_FI" kit in the early 50's that we all enjoyed and remembered as kids. So many memories- Joe lived his life to the fullest. Will miss him'

'Mike, please accept my condolences on the loss of your dad. Please tell your family that they are in my thoughts and prayers.'
