Tío Jose was the best and coolest uncle who I have ever met! I always loved when he´d come to swing by at my house to have to time to spend together with him telling me stories about what he did in the military or any on-going news. He also thought me what it means to become a great man with good intentions and that nothing should hold you down when it comes to dreams. Tio will always remain in my heart for the rest of my life.

I worked with SSG (ret) Jose Andujar at the Drug Demand Reduction Program, as part of Counterdrug in the Indiana Army National Guard. He was a great Soldier, fun to work with and dedicated to keeping kids off of drugs.
Rest in Peace, Jose!
My sincere condolences to his beloved family!

I have so many great memories of Joe that I will treasure. He will take me to the park, beach and neighborhood to ride our bicycles. Was fun spending time with him. One time I went to my titi Margarita's house and I left my bike outside her neighbors house for 5 mins and someone stole my bike. I was so upset and I called him crying and within few days he came with another purple bike. He sure put a smile in my face. He was very thoughtful & caring. And one of many memories I loved when he will take me to the military tanks to through candy at the Puerto Rican Parades. Best memories of my childhood was because of him. My forever 2nd dad. The best step dad a kid can ask for. G.I Joe was the best person, kind, caring, helpful, thoughtful, an awesome human being. Never thought this day will come he was a Super man in my eyes. God sure created the best man in earth and now he has called his soldier home. Rest in Paradise you definitely earn those wing GI Joe... you will be missed and forever in our hearts.
My thoughts, prayers and deepest condolences to his wife and kids.

Joe Andujar as I always knew him as was one of my class mates from Elementary School to High School. One of my best friends until I was 17 in 1969 that I left to the USNavy and we lost track of each other. But now I will continue to lift his family up in my prayers. Grateful d bless you family.
