Uncle Joe was the best of men. He was good to his wife, his children, his family, and his friends. Uncle Joe was always kind to my family. He was always welcoming to my husband. I am so sad that we lost such a good man too soon. I wish I had known the last time I saw him that it would be the last time. I would have hugged him longer and told him how much he has meant to me. I would have said, "I love you," and "Thank you for being so good to my aunt." I would have told him how much I have always admired his heart, which was good and true and generous. We were lucky to have had the best of men in our lives and we will always hold him in our hearts. I love you Uncle Joe.
I love you Auntie Dari and my prayers are with you.

Uncle Joe - I will forever remember our wonderful, fun times together (playing golf in the rain in Saipan, chasing after the wild pig at the ranch, the list is endless). Everyone could always count on you for a laugh. You will be missed but you will live on in our hearts.
To Auntie Dari and the family - my deepest condolences, I wish I could comfort you in person. My thoughts and prayers are with you. God bless.

Sadly I only spent a small amount of time with Uncle Joe, but I will always remember him sitting at the dining room table at my grandmas house, making everyone laugh until they cried. I didnt always understand the jokes, but I always knew that whenever he was going to be around, it was going to be a great time. He will truly be missed. Auntie Dari, I am so sorry for your loss, Uncle Joe was great man.

We miss our Uncle Joe so very much. But I have come to realize that Joe Lujan was Uncle Joe to so very many of us. His kindness and laughter were infectious. It was virtually impossible for our family to be with Auntie Dari and Uncle Joe for more than a few seconds before the laughing and fun would begin. From the very first moment we met Uncle Joe, I never saw him be anything less than kind and truly caring. His moods were so predictable because they were always good. Yes, even after the Vikings would lose ...again! I will never forget when back in the 90's, before Budweiser and Clamato was even recognised as a legitimate drink, Uncle Joe and I shared our first glass together. Only Uncle Joe could get away with calling it a health drink. Our lives went on separate paths for many years, until we found ourselves in Reno, with no family around. Or so we thought. Finding out that Auntie Dari and Uncle Joe were living so near was the silver lining in our otherwise dark cloud. No longer alone in a new city, our spirits were lifted by spending time with them. But it never feels like we get enough time with the ones we love. Uncle Joe will always live in our hearts. He is in our thoughts and prayers always.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort. I've worked with Joe at DPW for years, I also played golf with him so many times but the fondest memory of him is the way he can make people laugh. He is a very good person.

To my dearest "niao" - you will forever be in our hearts and prayers. since the day you joined our family not once did you fail to make us laugh. You taught us to live life to the fullest and not to take it so seriously but at the same token you taught us not to take it for granted either.
Your version of the song "Elvira" will always be a reminder of you and how you truly tore that song up but yet your version sounded so much better than the original one.(family - inside joke).
Thank you for loving my sister and her children and grandchildren and most of all thank you for all the laughter and joy you brought our family. It will never be the same without you.
Love is Stronger Than Death
Love is stronger than death.
So we must be content to know that Love is not affected by death - it doesn't end, it doesn't diminish, it doesn't change. Instead, love is immortalized and eternalized through death. And the possibility of that love ever being damaged or broken is eliminated forever. Therefore we put our trust in love but most of all in God in that he will take care of you in Heaven.
Love Marcy, Lawrence (Ench) and Jeff.

Im ashamed its taken so long for me to give my dear uncle Joe the honor he deserves. I can not possibly quantify the remorse felt by everyone who knows my uncle, especially my poor mother who has taken care of EVERY Lujan. Ive experienced pure Unadulterated love by so few people... my Uncle Joe will always be amongst that very short list. He is and always will be close to my heart

My deepest sympathy of the passing of Joe.I remember the good times we had while in Guam.He will always be my friend and Neo.

Some of my best memories growing up as a "howly" on Guam was getting to visit with my Uncle Joe. I remember the first time my parents dropped me off there he gave me a broom and put me to work sweeping his porch then I got to play Atari with NoraGene. Uncle Joe was always in a good mood. I never saw any side of him other than the side that loved my mother, respected my father, and always had a smile for us. He is dearly missed.

My memories of my uncle Joe are the same as all of my brothers. I can't ever remember not seeing Uncle Joe without a smile on his face. He was a good man. He was funny. He was caring. He took care of my brother Mike and me when we were young. It seemed that no matter what hardships my uncle had to endure through his lifetime his demeaner would never change. He loved life and he lived life the way he wanted to live it. It's funny; there are people in this world that live their entire lives focused only on making money and accumilating material possessions and when their time is up they ultimately realize that they didn't "live" their life. Uncle Joe's life was somewhat opposite of that. He wasn't rich as far as money goes but his life was indeed rich because of the way he simply lived it. He was loved by all and he knew that he was loved by all. I will miss him. We all will miss him.

Daria and family, My deepest sympathy goes out to all of you in the passing of Joe. I ask for God's blessing, Love and strength for you and the children during this time of Great Loss. Joe was always full of laughter, as I remember him during our school years. May he "Rest In Peace".

I have so many memories of my Uncle Joe...and they are all good. He always was laughing, & wanting everyone to laugh with him. My memories of him go back to my childhood, and he never failed to make me smile ever since. I cannot believe he is gone. Although we are all crying, I know wherever he is now...he's got everyone laughing.

With fond memories, I will remember Uncle Joe. He had the natural gift to make you laugh till it hurt. My husband Wayne, who Unlce Joe insisted on calling "Robert" will miss your beer-side conversations. I am honored that I had a chance to host such a wonderful man and his family in my home when he last visited Houston. To my many Aunty's and Uncles his siblings (especially Aunty Helen and Uncle Steve) and to Uncle Greg I mourn and pray with you.

I am sorry to hear about Joe. I guess I'm one of the lost Uncle that did't get to know him when he was still married to my nice. But my sympathy goes out to the wife and kids. Uncle Joe Quenga.

When Joe was very young we went swimming in the naval pools and the beach. Ate at the USO. We watched the great waves break off the coast of Guam. We went to the movies almost daily. Always a happy young boy on into manhood. He cared for our boys, and they loved their Uncle Joe. The pain of his passing is very great, I will miss him tremendously. I will love him and his family always. Always more to me than a brother-in-law, at times he was my son, my naiuo
Rest my dear Joe

i remember my uncle joe as a teenager in his military uniform. i remember how he was always happy, he was always laughing and telling jokes. but mostly i remember that he was always a good uncle. if you think about what an uncle should be be like, that's how he was. the kind of uncle who would just put his hand on your shoulder and ask how you were doing. i'll miss him.
