Dear Chemali family, from the Farah family branch rest assured that you and Joe are in our thoughts and prayers. Joe's mother Sarah was a Farah. Hence our families have been connected for now four generations. He will be sorely missed. His smile and sense of humor were remarkable. During his many years as an executive of Farah he touched many lives including mine. Joe and Vic have been like brothers to me, not distant cousins. Vic is blessed by Joe's children and grandchildren. I will alway remember fondly all the good times we shared and the trials and tribulations we survived. God speed Joe!

From a home boy from Marfa to another Marfa Home boy, from an ex Marfa Shorthorn to another Marfa Shorthorn, from an Army Veteran to a Navy Veteran and from a friend to another friend, I want to tell Joe and his beloved family what an honor it has been to know Joe. Seeing Joe and his great brother Victor living their life by practicing a unique value system, by helping others to excel and not expecting anything in return. So rewarding to me, I witnessed his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joe Chemali Sr. living their life in that manner. Joe was a unique and beautiful person from a beautiful family and I thank God for sharing him with us during all these years. God bless you Joe, Hoping you clear the way for me to follow you to a better world.

My deepest sympathies for the entire Chemali family. I have many fond memories of my Godfather through the years that I will cherish-- from Miner basketball games to Farah visits to Christmas remembrances. May he rest peacefully. Much love and peace to the Chemali family.
