Joe Gonzalez Obituary
Jose “Joe” R. Gonzalez passed away at the age of 67 after an unfortunate and sudden illness. He was born in Brooklyn, New York where he lived his early life and attended and graduated college from the University of New York. Joe was a magnificent husband, father, grandfather, and friend. He was always a beacon of honesty, hardworking, supportive, loved with all his heart, and wanted the best for everyone. He worked for 40 years as an Information Technology Officer, project manager, and production and facility coordinator. Joe’s passion was for his family and music. He played the guitar from his teen years until his passing, gave and taught lessons, and performed live with bands for many years. Joe was a unique soul and one that spread his light and warmth to anyone he met.
A celebration of life will be held amongst the family.
Thank you to everyone who was a part of Joe’s life as he will live on in all of us
