Jose had a passion for sports, particularly football, basketball, and tennis— a game he not only loved but played exceptionally well. He also found joy in simple pleasures, whether traveling the world or enjoying a good cigar.

Faith and service were central to Jose’s life. For 50 years, he was a dedicated member of Caballero Católico, actively helping his church and community.

His leadership was instrumental in founding the Kiwanis of Coral Gables – Latin chapter, a testament to his commitment to fostering service and philanthropy.

A devoted husband, an exceptional father, and an extraordinary Abuelo, he placed his family above all else. His legacy of kindness, generosity, and unwavering support will live on in the hearts of all who knew him.
