Joe Duran Orrantia

Dear family and friends,
Dad will be greatly missed, not only by me, my siblings, Mom and the rest of the immediate family, but by all who knew him. We consider ourselves fortunate to have had Joe for our Dad and Mary for our Mom. We are also fortunate that we had them for so long. They both always wondered why God kept them here so long. I always told them they still had work to do.

Mom is doing well--she has her moments of "tristesa" and she cries. She knows she will...

Uncle Joe would be so proud of you all for the wonderful celebration of life you gave him. We were all so blessed by my Tio. We will miss his presence here with us, but praise God that he has now gone to his reward in heaven. Love you all.

Uncle Joe and Tia Mary and cousins Lonnie, Margaret, Bea & Joe...the memories I hold are all happy and dear and shall never be forgotton. Our love and sympathy to all of you. Uncle Joe is in his glory now and having a great time with all our other wonderful family members . God Bless all of you Love Carmen and Robert Basso & family.

Thanks to my son,Bret, I was able to see the summary of your life, Uncle Joe. You could never be really encapsulated in so few, loving words - but I'm sure the paper charges for full page write-ups. Your joyful presence will certainly be missed. Yet we are left with your wonderful spirit of family and gusto for life. Your many years gave all of us the opportunity to share your uniqueness - a gentle giant of a man who loved us all. We love you sooo much, always, and pray you are enjoying the...

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Mann Family. With our deepest sympathy.

Wonderful memories, you have my deepiest sympathy.

Dear Uncle Joe,
You have been our family patriarch for many years. Your kind and loving ways and your wonderful tales are irreplaceable. Enjoy the reunion in heaven, God Bless you and your family, Tia Mary, Lonnie, Margaret, Bea, Joe, Kitty, their spouses and your many loving descendants. "Never a ship sails out of the bay, But carries my heart as a stowaway." I love you.
