Dear Gwen and Family,
I was sorry to hear about Joe's passing. I saw him as a good husband, father, brother and a good friend. Joe Toledo was one of the good guys in my life and served as a positive role models for me while growing up in South Omaha. I will always remember the great times that Vince and I spent with Joe and you at your home when we were just kids at South High. I am sure that you will remember all the fun that Vince and I had with him. You and your family have been in my thughts and prayers. I hope that I will have a chance to see you or the kids when you come to a San Francisco 49er game.
May God Bless you all,
Chuck Tamayo

Dear Gwen and Family:
We were saddened to hear about the passing of Joe. I remember as a kid seeing all “of the couples” (Joe & Mary Cabral, Uncle Ralph and Aunt Kathy Aranza, Joe and Gwen Toledo) getting together and going out for the evening. Your life long friendship is a very special camaraderie. Gwen, our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this time of sorrow.

Dear Gwen and Family:
I am sending my deep sympathy to you and your family over the loss of Joe. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
You have been a pillar of strength to Joe during his illness; Joe, himself, also was a pillar of strength, fighting his long battle, which showed through to his friends who loved him. You were so blessed to have such a fine man, loving husband, and father all these years.
Love, from

The world is a better place because Joe Toledo was here. It is not often in life we are blessed with such a kind and generous man. He was a wonderful example of the best humanity has to offer. Heaven is richer while we mourn his loss. God bless all of you and thank you the difference Joe and all of you have made in the quality of life in Omaha.

Gwen, Chris, Cathy and Carrie,
It is with heavy heart that we write this, we are so sorry for your loss. Everyone who knew Joe knows what a wonderful person he was. Few other than family and close friends may know how he cared for and helped with his family. Joe was always available to help Grandmother and Grandfather Ryan as well as Ruth and Bob. He would help anyone with anything at any time. He was always there to help us kids when we were younger growing up. Our visits to Omaha were so special and we recall with great happiness your visit to see us here in Tennessee, the trip to Opry Land was and is still a fond memory. We all felt young and happy, Joe being the biggest KID of us all. We remember the rides and how we all repeated over and over until we could hardly walk. Joe was such a gift to the children and everyone loved him so.
God bless and keep you all, he will be missed and remembered.

Dear Toledos',
From all Chris shared of his father's life with us we garnered that he; "lived, laughed and loved". Not a bad legacy.

Dear Gwen & family, my deepest condolences. Joe was a dichotomous person in that he was a gifted and fiercely competitive athlete, and a kind, gentle, conscienous person. He exibited the best of both worlds. I will truly miss his earnest fellowship.

I worked with Joe at K. We talked often. When I first met him he was still practicing his pitching by daily throwing a rubber ball against a wall. We both shopped for the same cut of pork. I made polish sausage, he made tamales. Joe was the greatest. A real South Omaha legend.
