Not sure what to say?

Joe was an amazing man with an interesting life. He lived with a zest for life that I have always admired. I am honored to have been his friend and shared some of his journey.

The Senior Lawyers Division is hosting a Memorial for deceased lawyers on November 18, 2025 at 5 pm at the State Bar. Mr. Lilly´s family and friends are welcome to attend. We are very sorry for your loss.

Joe and I were sheriff's deputies in the 1970's at BCSO. I remember him as reliable and always questioning and learning. I was sorry to see him go to probation. We met again in the 1980's when both of us were state prosecutors, Joe in Abq and me in Colorado. I liked him very much. He was one of the good guys.

Worked the North valley with Joe when I came on the sheriffs office. Learned a lot from him not to be forgotten.

Thank you so much Mr.Joe for loving my auntie the way you did and showing her the world you lived such an awesome life and will be truly missed rest in paradise Mr.Joe

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.
