I went to Emerson in the same grade as Jose. He was a tall, sweet, gentle, gentlemanly young man. A lovely person. So sorry to hear he has died. It sounds like he had much love in his life.

He always seemed like a gentle soul who was kind and compassionate. I know from stories my Dad has told me, Joe also had a very good sense of humor. My most sincerely condolences on the passing of Joe. May he rest in eternal peace.
