Not sure what to say?

Papa Joe: Thank your for all your kindness and generosity, most of all for loving our mother. You are truly missed. Love, P-Girl

Toni, Family and friends - there is a typographical error in our message. It says "El Camino Iranians" - I guess the dictionalry being used for the messages never heard of us "Kiwanians" - it should have read, "El Camino Kiwanians" Ed & Irene Russ

It is with much sadness that we say goodbye to our wonderful friend, Joe. His warmth and fun sense of humor will always be remembered and missed.

I was twenty years old when Joe allowed me to sell real estate part time at Jeffers & Co. It was a great start from a warm and amazing person. I learned from the best and his teachings served me well. How lucky were you all to have had in your lives for so very long. Hugs to you, Joe!

Joe will be missed by so many people - the Sisters of St. Anthony that he would take to his ranch; the El Camino Iranians; the YMCA: all those people he entertained with his singing; the gang that gathered Friday nights at the Rolling Hills Country Club; all his business partners, and those who found homes they could afford because of Joe's dedication to his profession and his high ethics - all of those who were fortunate to have had any contact with him as friends or business...

Toni and Family: I had the pleasure of working with Joe on some of his Escrow needs and I can tell you that I am truly blessed to have known him. His presence in my office could not be mistaken and he always had that sweet smile across his face. What an amazing man and family....he will be truly missed.

God Bless You, Toni & family, during this tremendous time of loss. I know it will be difficult as Joe really lit up the room whenever he walked in. I worked with him at Republic Bank in Torrance... We kept in touch over the years - most recently at our church, Holy Trinity in San Pedro. I'll never forget his funny personality.
He was a very dear man and I will miss seeing him by your side, Toni. I know you will cherish the memories ~ especially with all the photos he's taken...

Wow... too many memories to list: Bloomfield, swimming, birthdays, Japaniese food at Toky's and so much more.
A second dad to me. Taught me to swim, hunt and water ski.
When we would go somewhere together, he would always introduce me as: "the ugliest kid on the block"
THANK YOU JOE, for all you were to me.

This is one way I will remember you!
