Ronita and I were sad to hear of Joey's passing. While we have not seen him in years, we were great friends back in the early sixties. I first met Joey when I ran a bread route from San Anselmo to Pt Reyes Station for the original Kilpatrick's Bakery.

A very sweet young man, may he rest in peace.

Dear Silveira family,
We were all saddened when we read about Joe's passing. We have wonderful memories of him from when our girls were honored to be queens for the Sebastopol Portuguese lodge. He was so helpful and always greeted us with his warm, wonderful smile.

Worked with Joe for over 20 years. Always a positive source of energy and always smiling. Always talked about family and how much they meant to him. I have not talked to Joe in a few years, but he popped into my mind last week and I know it was Joe saying"how you doing". He will be missed by all who know him
