Today we honored our dear friend and   a true patriot who loves his family and a genuine human being . We met while working in the ER at Bergstrom AFB in the late 80's. In all our years of friendship not once did I hear Joe have a negative comment about anything. He would voice his opinion in such a manner that you couldn't help but respect the man for what he believed. Never did he demand respect it just came naturally.  A true friend and an example for all to live by.  Until we meet again my dear friend . Our prayers 🙏 and hearts are with your family and love ones.

Dad, I will never be able to express how much You have instilled in me. Your loyalty, values of family.  You are forever in my heart!  Thank you for allowing me to care for your Son and help instill all your values in your Grandchildren. 

Your Daughter in law,
Rochella

On behalf of myself, Pedro & Joaquín we send our condolences to the family. We were blessed to have had Joe, Nacha and Raeann to care for our new born many years ago and always have cared for all as family. He will be remembered by his smile, that he always had. Rest In Peace grandpa Joe🙏🏽

I met Joe at Cristo Rey when my friend Teresa introduced him to me as her Father. I learned a lot about Joe since then. He loved his faith and always went to mass until he could no longer.  He thought highly about education,  he said it can be hard to get good grades but you need to study hard and you can do it. He cared so much about his family asking for you by name, I assured him you were doing well. He liked to work on projects,  and when he no longer could, he did so using his imagination as he sat in his chair. I knew he was a loving Father, because of the way his daughter and family cared for his comfort and care. He loved his country and to celebrate the 4th of July. He was a blessing to those who knew and worked with him, and to me for allowing me to serve him in such small ways. Now, Jesus welcomes him into his kingdom as he stays in our hearts. 

One of the biggest highlights of my life was when my brother, Joe, took me, Tana, Bill and Wendy, Vickie and Mary to Mexico to see where our father was born. He was the only one that knew where to go in Mexico.  I will never forget him telling all of us that our Dad would be so mad at him for taking us there because of safety reasons. I' m sure Daddy will have a talk to him about that adventure!! All the way down there, Joe shared so many stories with us! His memory was phenomenal! I know that the reunion in heaven was a beautiful celebration!

Over the many years, Brother would love to share the history of our family with me. We could sit for hours just talking about hard times and good times.  His memory was amazing. I’ll really miss our talks. We’ll be together again Dear Bother. I love and I’ll miss you so much.
