Jose Vidal. Hernandez era un hijo, esposo, padre, abuelo, tío y amigo amoroso para muchos que lo conocieron. Fue llamado por Dios para ser enterrado junto a su amada madre, Florentina Hernandez, el 1 de agosto de 2025. Le sobreviven su querida esposa Emilia Hernandez y sus tres hijos: Jose, Cristina de un matrimonio anterior, y Ricardo con su actual esposa amorosa Emilia Hernandez, y su yerno Daniel Colon casado con su hija Cristina Hernandez Colon. Jose nació y fue criado en Cidra, Puerto Rico, y luego a vivir en Paterson, NJ, donde trabajó como fabricante de metales para mantener a su esposa e hijos. Su mayor pasión en la vida era pasar tiempo con su familia, amigos y niños/nietos. Sus pasatiempos favoritos eran pescar, nadar en el océano, hacer barbacoas y cuidar de aquellos que lo conocían bien. Era muy amoroso, amable y servicial con cualquiera que necesitara una mano. Su risa era contagiosa y tenía una sonrisa que iluminaba toda la habitación. Lo extrañaremos profundamente muchos que se conectaron con él internamente y serán.
