We would be remiss if we did not acknowledge Joe's passing. We pray he rests in peace.
At this appropriate time to give thanks, we thank God for having placed Joe in McAllen, where he shared his friendship, his business associations, and left many attractive business complexes visible throughout our prosperous city, to remind us all of him.

Mr. Joe was a fun loving, kind, generous man. I have very fond memories of going to the lake house as a child and then going to Ruisoso, NM as an adult. Mr. Joe was always welcoming, even when my family of five invaded the dungeon with three young kiddos. He just smiled and made sure we were comfortable, had plenty of snacks, and tried to track down the snow we had promised the kids. My family and I will cherish the memories we made with him, Deb, Evyn, Christine and the boys. May God cover you with His strength and peace. Much love... The Cruise Family
