Sailors who look out for Sailors they never knew, like Petty Officer Joseph Alomar did, are true to the core. Petty Officer Joseph's story will live on in legacy, as it is Sailors like him who are devoted to helping others whom they have never met may this Navy so great as it is today. Peace be with you and your family. God Speed Shipmate... and may God keep you in His arms and protect you in the way you selfishly did for others.

Hello,
We would like to express our deepest condolences and also let the Alomar Family know that we recently sent Care Packages to American troops in the war zones. Each box carried a dedication sheet that includes the name, service information and a photo of your loved one. We recognize that this is a humble tribute, but we wanted you to know that it is heartfelt and made possible by thousands of like-minded individuals in the youth hockey community and beyond. We will not forget. May God Bless you and keep you strong.
Sincerely,
Charlie Gili & Family

it's taken me a while to write something. i guess it's because it feels like yesterday we were eating crystals burgers in the back of the duty van in jacksonville. i just want to let you know, you'll never be forgetten. Ever. I poured some drink out for you earlier. We'll see you on that Ashland in the sky. And we'll get that OE/OI rumble on again. We had it all then didn't we? At least we have those times. Like I said, when we check on board after this life is over, we'll catch up again. Miss you brother!

yeah i know joey, i've been running and i haven't found an end to it. i've tried to hide and it's never going to go away. you changed a major structure in my understanding and dealings with life. i had a firm grasp on things and i thought i fully understand how things play out, until you. yeah, you showed me how we are all human and unfit to fully master all situation. somethings are going to be out of our control and it's going to be hard discerning whether to fight or throw in the towel. i do my best not to reminisce on things gone by, but honestly it's impossible to move forward without looking back at what we went through. i love the fact that you gave me a chance to help with what was happening and i regret not seeing things through for you. life is hard but those of us left behind put on a tough face. i wish you were here with us now figuring out the next phase of our lives. it's been a few years and i still listen to the Diary of a snot nose. i've cried in public and i've cried in private, i want to hide it but it's not so easy. everyone has a theory on what they could have offered and how that affects them, between you and i, i wish i knew how much difference the 5 minutes would have made. i'm sure we would be telling a different story right now, but i hope i don't go on thinking, "what if?"
i hope the food and everything else up there is as good as they say in church and you are holding up nicely. i still have your smiling pictures and videos; thats how you'll always remain. look out for your family. you know your lil girl needs you. love and miss you Alomar. i hope you found relief.

ALOMAR!!! I miss you man. Just sitting here and thinking of you. My prayers are still going out for you and your family but I swear i talked to you in a dream the other night and you told me you were doing just fine. That did a lot for me because in my heart I really believe that's true. I truly believe that you are at peace and are looking down on all of your family and friends. Take care Joey baby. Love ya!!!
In Memory of Joseph ~ (Debra Estep)

Holding you all in my thoughts and prayers.
The Wind on The Downs
“I like to think of you as brown and tall,
As strong and living as you used to be,
In khaki tunic, Sam Brown belt and all,
And standing there and laughing down at me.
Because they tell me, dear, that you are dead,
Because I can no longer see your face,
You have not died, it is not true, instead
You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe;
I hear you laughing as you used to do,
Yet loving all the things I think of you;
And knowing you are happy, should I grieve?
You follow and are watchful where I go.”
(Written by Marian Allen during World War l )
Two lines that I wish you to keep near your heart…….
“You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe”
I did not know Joseph, but I am remembering
his service and sacrifice. He is my hero. !

The Other Side
i'm over on the other side
where life and death softly divide.
left my skin and bones behind
now i'm over on the other side.
can you feel me there with you?
my breath is gone but i'm not through.
loved you then and i still do
from over on the other side.
i can fly. really fly.
below the earth ... all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.
it's good here on the other side.
the sweetest songs...the bluest skies.
thank you for the tears you cried
but it's good here on the other side.
i can fly. really fly. below the earth...all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side
the world is smaller than a needle's eye.
where life and death softly divide.
when you leave your skin and bones behind
i'll be waiting on the other side.
i can fly. really fly. below the earth ... all through the sky.
go tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.
