Joe Moreno

Papa Joe,
I hit rock bottom the day that you moved on , but I picked myself back up and lifted my head up high for I know that's what you would want , you were there at my highest on that warm day in July ,you were not only my papa but also a blessing in disguise for all the knowledge and wisdom that you instilled in my life , so as I sit here and write these words to you I can't help but cry all I want to hear is Ike Ike Ike one last time . One more thing that I'd like to say IS HAPPY...

At the age of 18 is when people usually become a legal age of being an adult at the age if 18 is when I found my grandfather papa joe it was exactly like Jorge and I love and first sight he was my papa joe and I was his mami from Alabami. I never had a grandfather before that but God knew what he was doing when he made me wait 18 years to find the perfect grandfather my papa joe Ike Ike Ike papa joe opened his heart and I ran right in. I love that man with all my heart. He stood by me 100%...

I would just like to express my sincerest condolences to the Moreno Family. It has been my honor to call Joe Moe a friend for the years I have known him. He was a no nonsense, no BS kind of guy that kew the true definition of friendship and family. He taught me so much about cooking, Club Mercedes, and the rich history of the families here in Merced. Most of all he taught me to love everyone and have a good time. Joe Moe, I will miss you my brother! May you Rest in Peace!

Teresa and family: I was sad to hear the news, so very sorry for your loss. It was a pleasure knowing him, he was a great friend to both of us and will be missed.

To the Moreno family...we are so very sorry for your loss. You are in our thoughts and prayers. With sympathy, Juan and Jeanne Martinez

Joe Moe was quite a guy...I don't know how long the I knew him. When he and Harvey were in the kicthen at the club, the food was to die for on Wednesday night. He always had time to talk to me and shoot the bull. I remember that I sold him a new Chevrolet S-10 pickup. ..he told that he wanted Mo's Ride painted on it, which I did. He will be missed. ..everytime I would go to the club, he was there. A great guy and a better friend. My prayers to out to his family. Geech.

Moreno Family, I am sadden to hear the loss of your loved one. Joe was a great man and an excellent cook. I remember he cooked our rice for our wedding 26 years ago. He made the best taste and flavor anyone could ever ask for. Joe rest in peace and be with the beautiful angels in heaven.

When I opened the newspaper to the obituaries yesterday I had a sad feeling as I read about the kindest, funniest man I grew to know while attending Tenaya Middle school has gone. Although I'm nearly 40 years now, I will remember you forever. You always walked around campus happy and friendly to all the kids. It makes me realize that kindness to others really does go a long way. Thank you.
