Joe was such a great friend to Jim and I. We worked together and had many a discussion and laughs at lengths as to what was happening at MCAS Yuma. Joe and Irma were great hosts at their home and Joe's friendly personality made each event memorable. Jim and Joe hunted together and made many a memory.

Uncle Joey was one of the kindest souls on this earth. To know him was to love him because he would surely love you. His family was his world, Aunt Irma, Tammy, Mark and all of his grandchildren.

He meant a lot to me and my sisters and our husbands. Our love and condolences to our Mendoza family. May God rest on your...

May God bless all of you. Joe was one of my contracting officers at MCAS. He helped teach me about working on the base and was a pleasure to work with. Let the Angel´s sing on his return to the Lord.

Uncle Joey was the kindest, most loving person. His family - Aunt Irma, Tammy, Mark and grandchildren meant the world to him. All of us were important to him; he´d great us with great, big hugs and always want to know how we are doing. We will all miss him greatly.
