God bless you precious family. We were so delighted to have served your Mom and Dad. They were people of integrity and class. My greatest benefit was their acceptance. Their spirit was so open to all kinds of people. Of course, the quick wit and sense of humor will always stand out in my mind. What an absolute joy it was to be a brief part of your lives.
May you have peace and comfort in this sad time of you life.
Please feel free to call if you need me for anything. Lamesa Phea, Chaplain

Jose was:
A quiet man – He was always willing to hear what others had to say
A gentle man – Loving, Kind, Soft spoken, Patient
A caring man – Seeing the needs of others and always doing what he could to be helpful
A self-giving man – Always putting others above himself
An honorable man – He possessed the old school values of good character, high morals & values, and a strong backbone
A wonderful Grandpa: The kind of “get down on his knees & play kind of Grandpa”
A wonderful and devoted husband: Most of all for being Loisy’s loving companion for 30 years and for always caring for Loisy even to the very end
An encouraging/supportive man - Wanting the best for Lois, his kids/grandkids & everyone else
A model stepfather to Karen and father-in-law to Kent and grandfather to Karly, Karoline, & Kamille - He always treated us with love & dignity – We had the utmost respect for him

Jose, you were greatly loved even though we may at times failed to say it. You were greatly admired & respected. We personally appreciate all that you were and all that you did in loving Lois… us… and our families. Our lives have been made better because of you! We will miss you dearly… until we see you again someday! Thank you for being the Jose we loved!
