Grandpa, 
      Tomorrow makes a months since you have been gone yet it feel like a lifetime. It is hard for me to wrap my head around the fact that you are no longer with us but watching down on us. I miss you so much. My favorite memory of king to visit you an grandma was pulling up and seeing you sitting at the kitchen table and you yelling to grandma saying "Josie Renee and her family are here" i hate that I no longer get to hear you say that. You being gone feels so unreal. There is not a day that goes by that I do not think of you. You were such a great grandfather to me you have taught me so much about life and how to always strive for better. One day we will be reunited in heaven. I promise I will take care of grandma for you. I love and miss you so much.

Dad , i just want to wish you a Happy Fathers Day and that i love you so much. I will be there with you at the cemetery with the kids and  mom gene sonia,and the girls celebrating what a great father you are.  We all love you Dad.

Love always Marie (pumpkin)

Dear Dad, tomorrow will be 1 month that you have been gone ,it just seems like yesterday. i know that you are happy and no longer suffering any more. Mom is ok but she misses you dearly, there is not a moment in the day that we dont think about you. When i look at you pictures tears just run down my face ,it just seem like a dream that is not real,but i know that in my heart that you are in a better place, rejoicing and praising god for all that he has done. i will never ever forget about you and you are never alone you still have all of us here  remembering those special moments that we shared with you.I love you dad so much , we will meet again one day.  Love marie  (Pumkin)

Grandpa there are no words that could describe how much I miss you. Me and the boys especially. Seth told me if he knew you were so sick that he would of spent more time with you. He thinks of you daily. I miss our talks. I miss you teasing me. I never thought u would leave us so soon. I still try and understand why u did. Grandpa I love you are forever in our hearts.

Dear Joe the love of my life which i miss everyday, and  every night. You left a empty hole in my heart. But i know your in a good place. But it was hard to let you go and its still hard because thinking of you everyday and what we've done, that some day which i don't know when that we'll be together and will fill in that empty space in my heart. The memories that i had with you i will always keep and cherish them forever. Being around family, picnics, taking rides to San Pedro. sitting here in the living room talking to you enjoying our little snacks, little deserts that we had together. Always wanted to talk about what we're going to do tomorrow. And we'll be with the lord. And i thank god for giving my husband to me. And we'll be with the lord praising him. Even though your not here with me i want to wish you a Happy Fathers Day. 
Love you, love you, love you Joe. 
Your wife Josie.

My dad I miss him so much. Not a day goes by that your on my mind. It hurts so bad and empty without you. I know ur looking down on all of us but I wish u were here. Know this dad I love you so much and I'm thankful that god gave you to me to be my dad. Love Renee

My dad and our relationship, is a story about redemption.  Those of you who have known my 
dad for a long time can understand this story.  My dad was a hard man and I was no angel 
either.  About 6 years ago Jesus turned his life around and softened his heart.  He became the 
father that I always wanted and I became the son he always wanted.  We liked spending time 
together and saw each other almost every day.  Dad would call and ask “what's on the agenda 
today?”  He was always ready to go somewhere or do something together.  One time my dad 
wanted a large shipping container and he had me driving all around town on a wild goose chase 
for months looking for the right container, even though he knew he was never going to buy 
one.  This was just something to bring us together.  We would all go out to eat a lot too.  These 
were good times except for what would happen after.  My dad had a very annoying habit.  I will 
try not to be too explicit, but you know how food particles get stuck in your teeth after meal? 
Well, he would work his food out of his teeth and spit them out.  They always landed right on 
my dash board.  Mom would say “Joe, are you spitting in his car again!” and my dad would say 
“No” with the same look that my girls give me when I catch them doing something wrong.  I had 
quite a collection on my dashboard…like a buffet.  I would get annoyed with him about this but 
now I'd give anything to have my dashboard decorated in such a way again.  Dad would 
embarrass me when we'd leave the restaurant as he'd swipe a bunch of napkins on the way 
out.  He'd put a big bunch, more than a handful, in my car door pocket in case someone needed 
to wipe something.  I'd give anything for my car door to be filled with them again…now it's 
empty.  Often times, he would call me at night and make an excuse for me to come over.  I'd 
get there and he had only silly things to say.  I think that he desperately wanted my company.  
The redemption story continued when he became a grandfather to my daughters.  He made up 
his shortcomings as a father by the fun and loving way he was with my girls, as a father would 
be to his son.  I will miss my dad.  He became my buddy, my best friend.

Dad I will always hold on to all the memories I have of you . Not a day goes by that I don't think of you . I will always remember the last thing you said to me in the rehab, when I kept asking you dad what's my name , and I repeated a few times Dad what my name , and you said with a soft voice Marieeee. .  I look into the sky  on a sunny day and I can see your face like you we're infront of me, I am trying to be strong like you we're but at time it is so hard , I know I will see you again one day  . Check in on all of us , as we will alway be waiting to be reunited with you again . I love you dad 
Always and forever. (Your Pumpkin)

Uncle Joe never failed to bring warmth into my heart. Always kind and a joy to be around. My deepest sympathy to the Ortega Family. My Family whom I love deeply. My Aunt Josie.... an absolute Angel.... Uncle Joe will forever live within my heart.

Ortega Family 
My Condolences To All Of You in this time of Sorrow
I'd like to say That Joe will greatly be Missed, from the 
Time that I've known Him, through extended family 
I will remember the good times when I would see Him
Driving in His old classic car with his Beloved Josie, 
I admired their Love they had for one another! 
And being A neighbor down the way I would see him outside
So Proudly with his grandaughter(s) or family outside sharing 
Good Times! And now that I pass I will No Longer see Him outside
But , the Memories he left with His Family will never be erased! 
Well Ortega Family I Pray That Our Father Embraces You All 
With His Strength and Love! With Love and respect ..Valerie

My condolences to the Ortega family.Joe was a real pleasure to be around the time he spent with us and the car club rest in peace friend.

Ortega Family our condolences to you at this sad time, it was a honor to know Joe and had him as part of our car club family may you rest in peace friend....Richard & Veve Lopez and THE ROAD SINNERS CAR CLUB..

Joe you will be missed sooo much. You were not only my father in law but a great friend, you were always like my dad and you always treated me like your daughter. You were always someone I could depend on and talk to when I needed a dad to listen. I will never forget when you offered to walk me down the aisle on my wedding day. The day that I married the man of my dreams, your son Gene. I could go on forever with similar stories but just rest assured that your memory will always live forever in our hearts. Emily, Lily, Gene, and me are missing you so much and I will make sure that Emily and Lily grow up knowing what a great man their grandfather was. Love You Joe!

Grandpa i miss you so much. Words cant describe how much i love you. I'm always gonna remember you as a loving man. You did everything for us when we needed help. And im thankful for that. Im gonna miss when you used to sit outside and you would call me and ask to sit out there with you, to keep you company. Your a big part of my life and i think about you everyday. Every time we went to your house i always looked forward to seeing you sitting at the kitchen table looking out the window. The memories that we had i will cherish forever.. All the times we made each other laugh i will miss that very much.. Now your in a better place. Your with your mom and dad and Boston. i know how much you liked him. Now you could see him everyday.
