Thank you Grandpa Joe for loving all of us. Summers were to be hold, it was Knotts Berry Farm, and the beach at Ocean Side for many years. We can't forget Disneyland and the purse full of bean burritos we used to take in. Then afterwards, the baloney sandwiches in the parking lot. What great times and memories you have left behind. You will be missed.
Love Cesar & Sylvia

Grandpa Joe, I will always carry you in my heart. Thank you for all the wonderful memories I have with you and Grandma, like going to the pier, on Sunday drives, you rubbing your beard on face, and so many more. You will be missed but never forgotten. I love you!
