My cousin Joe, the one year anniversary of your death is coming up! My heart is broken as I assume it will remain this way the rest of my days! Love you for eternity

You will be greatly missed, we will watch over your loved ones, Joe as they are a part of our family. Thank you for always extending your home to our daughter, and considering us a part of your family.

Dear Joe, I .am sad to have never gotten the chance to meet you. Abigail "Londie" has always talked about how good you were to your family. R.I.P Joe and my condolences to your beautiful family. Your all in our prayers.

Joe I'm still in shock I miss you and will forever love you. You where there for me and my family when we needed you the most. I will be there for my girl and the kid's they are my family. Rest in peace my friend.  Forever in my heart and forever loved.

Going to miss seeing you at Costco #24 Santa Maria. My condolences to your family. Rest in peace Joe,  you will be missed.

I never communicated directly with Joe, but I always saw how well he took care of his family and that to me, defines a Great Man!
May you rest in peace while you continue watching over your family!

Many good times working together through out the 30 years that ive known him and rolling together on our bikes these last few yew years and gonna miss our daily conversations that we would have to help each other to say up at night....RIP MY GOOD FRIEND AND SOMEDAY LORD WILLING MAY WE RIDE AND TALK AND HANG OUT AGAIN ......

Dad, there's so much I can say to you and so much that I should've said to you.  But life doesn't always happen the way we want it to.  I love you so deeply and there will never be anyone else in this world that can replace you.  You were everything I wanted and needed in a dad.  I remember as a kid always wanting to be in the garage with you and help you with your trucks.  You would always tell me I can sand a fender for you and it made me so happy that I could help you and now as I'm older I realize I was cheap labor for you but it still makes me happy that I could do something to help you.  I will never forget all the times you took us to the fair, Disneyland, Dodger games,  Beverly Hills to see all the house and just all of the random drives we had to go get something to eat.  All of those memories I have of us will never fade and I will forever cherish them.  I will never forget how hard you worked for us and how understanding you always were.  We had very few heart to heart talks but I will remember them vividly and I will always act the way you said I should.  You always loved me no matter what decisions I made in life and I love you for being the person that you are.  I will strive my best to be like you as much as possible.  I miss you everyday and will constantly think of you, until we meet again.  Please watch over all of us, you were our rock and we will always need you Dad.  I love you with all my heart and soul

You were an amazing man. I will forever love and miss you. I'm glad you got to meet my little ritchie. Thankful he wasn't a girl lol please watch over us. Love you NINO

My fondest memory of Joe would have to be when we were kids Joe around 9 years 
old. He would come over to hang out with my brothers Albert and Alvaro to ride 
bikes or skateboards or whaterver and me always out just in the business. His 
hair perfectly parted on the side with his bright blue eyes and those dimples. 
One day Joe said he could blow the biggest bubble with his bubblegum and he sure 
did it popped right in his face and we just laughed and laughed. He was always 
cheerful and fun. 
We had the Pearrows to the right and the Gulas to the left on Villa Park St good 
times. Never lost touch because were connected like that.... 
Londie.Joey,Kathy and family may God carry you through this difficult time. 
Joe until we met again my friend. RIP 
GOD Bless. Gone but never forgotten

Thank you for being such an amazing grandpa and a wonderful role model for my boys. I know they miss you like crazy already, they have so many wonderful memories and life experiences because of you and I will be forever grateful. May you rest in peace and continue to watch over them.

I will miss talking to you @ Costco Santa Maria in the mornings. So sorry for your family. Thoughts and prayers for them to have comfort in this time of need.

Although I did not have any contact with Joe other than meeting him once or twice, I would like to say to his surviving spouse, my Niece Londie that you can draw inspiration from seeing the brilliance, listening to the harmonies, feeling the textures and sensing the aromas of the many memories you & Joseph created. Grieve not, rather find strength in what remains behind.  May he rest in peace.    Uncle Freddy- Alfredo Berumen

Joe my good friend I will miss you on the road

Joe my good friend you will be missed on the road

Thank you Joe for being such an amazing person to so many and being such an important part of everyone's life. You were so good to Marti and I, even after I got married.  You helped move my family to Arizona and made countless trips across the desert to see Marti.  Thank you for being the BEST uncle to her.  Your love and generosity, meant the world to us.   You will be greatly missed!

Although I never had the pleasure to meet Joe in person, I feel as though I knew him through all the beautiful pictures shared by you Londie. My heartfelt condolences to the family. Londie he's your angel in heaven now. You have many happy memories that will carry you through. It's never easy to lose someone we love. Take care of yourself. God bless.

We're going to miss you Joe, but we know your in a better place. You always knew how to make me laugh even when I was having a bad day, thank you for allowing me to be part of your life and for giving me nothing but positive advice when I needed it. You were a hard working man who took care of your family and I admire that. Till we meet again Joe, Always your friend Johnny.

I'm gonna miss running into you and Londie at the state line for them Art Laboe concerts my friend, may you rest in paradise with the rest of our angels up in heaven

I only met him that one time we met up with you, but felt like I knew him well with all your posts & pictures! I'm sure he has a front row seat at the Ravine in the heavens above!

My favorite memory is when Abigail told me that Joe fell asleep at  "Pinks" concert...I thought how could anyone sleep through that.....RIP Joe. Love, Leslie Ellen Smith

I believe the world is a better place because you were in it,yet it was a short time it was a good time for sure and Believe friends and family will see you again!
