Joe and I were classmates at Nativity Elementary School and Bishop Amat. I remember him as a warm and friendly person. I was saddened to hear of his passing from Steve Proctor, who was also our childhood friend. My deepest condolences to the Castruita family on your profound loss.

Although I have not seen Joe in many years, we were classmates at Bishop Amat. We were in classes and athletics together, and I remember him to be a kind, funloving, intelligent and outgoing classmate. May Joe rest in peace. My prayers are with his family.

Joe you wI'll be missed truly by me. I enjoyed all our conversations over the phone even when you were not feeling well you would still make an effort to call and let me know how you were doing. Im sorry we never got to take that bike ride at pudding stone park. You were a real fighter.
