Condolences to all of Joe's family. We feel your pain in the loss of such a great guy. He was such a good friend to all the Bobcat Baseball team when my son Mark played in 1981-83.

To Lupe and the whole Casanova family, I don't take the paper so I didn't realize Joe had passed away until today. I'm so sorry for your loss. Joe was a good neighbor - always friendly and interested in how everyone was doing. His family was everything to him and it's been great to see how close you all are. I know the rest of the family will take care of Lupe. God bless you all. Elaine Bishop

My Dad coached in San Angelo in the 80's and 90's and I did as well in the 90's. I also worked with the grounds crew one summer while I was in college. The best way to describe Joe was "One of a Kind!!!" He was a great friend to all the coaches that came through San Angelo. God Bless. Rick Mohler, San Antonio
