Joseph John Quintana

I met Joe through my mom, PeggyAnn, who was the secretary at Pasadena. When I subbed in San Juan I would see Joe all over the place. He was always so sweet and even if he was not feeling well he would have a smile on his face every time he saw me. My mom and I thought the world of him. Whenever he had some extra time he would always chat with us for awhile and we would catch up. We had lost contact with him when mom and I left San Juan district. I saw the notice in the Orangevale News...

It was with sadness that I read of Joe's passing a few weeks ago. It was always a pleasure to see him come into our Pasadena Elementary School office to pick up the district mail. He always had a smile and greeting. Many of my family members have passed suddenly; I understand what you are experiencing. May your thoughts be full of treasured memories. God Bless You and Be With You.

Joe was our courier at Sierra Oaks for many years and always had time for a cheerful (or sardonic - depending) word with us while picking up our stuff. I have missed his visits. Very sorry for your loss.

We are so sorry about the death of Joe. May memories of special times be a source of comfort, along with the love and encouragement of family and friends. God bless you both.

Love, Barb and Don Moore

What an honor to know Joe as a neighber who became our family. Erica, Alex and I will miss his corny comments and odd sense of humor. Janet and Amy, our thoughts are with you.

Dear Janet and Amy,
I met Amy briefly on her recent return from Dallas while we were stranded at the airport. While reading the newspaper today, I happened upon the obituary and wanted to let you know that I am deeply sorry for your loss. Amy, I lost my Dad very suddenly also; there are no words that can take away the emptiness and shock you must be feeling now. My thoughts and prayers go out to you. May God bless and give comfort to you and your mom at this most difficult of times.

Joe was our courier for many years at one of San Juan Unified's many elementary schools and his short visits were always upbeat and happy, talking about news of the day or of our families and well being. He will be very missed by those of us in the district that knew him as a quiet, unassuming, pleasant, well mannered gentleman.

Janet and Amy, My heart goes out to you at this time and in the days ahead. Our Family is having a tough time right now but always remember as long as we stick together we will make it through.

To my Brother-In-Law Joe, you will be missed dearly by myself and Pj. When I would call and you answered we would get lost in a great conversation. I can not express the words how I feel right now.

I love you both very very much, your litte sister and your aunt Donna...
