Not sure what to say?

My deepest condolences to the Quintero Family. I recently learned of Jose's passing and am very sorry for your loss Eva and children. In the Summer of '71 we all came to UCR and grew close through our activism in MEChA and the farmworker movement. Fond memories.

You will remain in my prayers. Resucito!

Such a beautiful tribute to a kind, intelligent, fun soul who will never be forgotten. Thank you for the memories and the great example you and Eva always been of what family love means. Save a place for us Joe!

Joe was the first member of the Quintero family that I knew. He seemed strong and kind to the 12-yr-old I was then. I'll be praying with and for his family.
