At a young age Jose left his home in Comerio, Puerto Rico in search of a better life, moving to the Northeastern part of the USA. He began working in a Farm in NJ from there he continued moving westward into PA where he landed a job in the historical Bethlehem Steel Plant where he worked for 42 years.

Jose was a humble man full of faith who worked very hard and accomplished many of his dreams. I’m Blessed to call him my Uncle! Like we say here in Puerto Rico “Que Brille Para El La Luz Perpetua y Que Descanse En Paz!” (May Perpetual Light Shine For Him And May He Rest In Peace).

We will never forget You Uncle Joe,
Freddy, Pilar, Deus, Kathy and Ruben
Familia, Velez-Cruz
