Joseph R. Maruca

look over your brother Tim for his birthday. You loved him very much!

Joe lived a rich, full, very interesting life. It was always enjoyable talking with him, and we'll miss Joe and his stories.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Pat and Joe Junior.

Happy birthday, Joe!
Love,
Gus and Norma

Pat and Joe, my condolences. Joe was the best friend I had in California. We met in 1960 and as teachers from Pennsylvania. Thanks for great times: volleyball and body surfing at Santa Monica, Monterey Jazz Festival, basketball at Northridge Park, “Angel” games at Dodger stadium in their inaugural year, always grateful for the opportunity Karen and I had to teach summer school in Mammoth, thanks for helping Jim on the slopes, framing a couple homes, and jogging to the main lodge. You and your family are in my thoughts...Ken

Joe was such a solid, giving, kind and responsible soul.
He left such a legacy. He is missed in so many ways.

My deepest condolences. I remember Joe from the days when he was the Superintendent at CUHS and would keep an eye out for my brother Freddi, to when you, Priscilla and I took a trip to Ensenada to meet up with Joe at his trailer on the beach where he liked to fish to a Sunday dinner at your place in SD. Joe made an impact on many lives at the various chapters of his life. Both of you are in my prayers.
