I think of Irma and Victoria often since Jose's passing.....Jose left a successful and powerful legacy in the upbringing of his awesome daughter, Victoria.....he lives on through her and will never be forgotten....
Victoria will always be one of my "Hall of Fame" students, and Jose will always be remembered as one of this teacher's all time favorite parents of a 45 year career....

Dear Irma and Victoria,
I have so many fond memories of Jose over the years. I especially appreciate how supportive he was to me in all of my projects, always willing to help at my many events. Such a great father to Victoria, always wanting the best for her...he showed such great interest in her performances and music recitals, sports, etc. It was a privilege to be Victoria's teacher and Jose's friend. My deepest sympathy for the loss of such a great man...he will be sincerely...

Joe it deeply saddens me to know you are gone. I have very fond memories as kids when your dad would take us all out on weekend adventures for cousin fun. Sadly, I cannot attend your services today. You and your family are in my prayers and I know you are now with God and no longer suffering. I hope your dad, mom, wife, kids and brothers and sisters find comfort in this. Rest in peace Joselio.

RIP Joe
Without a doubt Joe had the best "Cop Moustache" of anyone on the Central Coast
