Joe hired me to work for him when I was only 14 yrs old and living in San Antonio. My first job. At the corner of Zarzamora/Guadalupe St. And then move me to the Zaz rest. by OLLU. Mr. Chin was a kind, respectful and candid soul while his spent time on earth. He was a great teacher to his children and to anyone he met. He inspired me to be an honest man and to take pride on a job well done. If anyone ask me if he left a legacy, I would say "yes". I am now 65 yrs old and I remember him like yesterday. And I am happy to say God has excepted him into his Kingdom and united him with his wife. To the family my prayers go out to all. He left me with good memories and I am sure he left a whole lot more to his family. His absence will be felt. May God comfort the family in this difficult time.
