My sincerest sympathy to the Ancira family. I have such great memories of working with Joe at Southwestern Bell. Joe was a pleasure to work with, and a real team player, but the one thing I admired about him was how he expressed his love for his family. Joe was a blessing to know and I will always remember him with a smile.
