I didnt know Jose so much on a personal basis..he and his wife were regular customers at my pharmacy in the CVS on Rockland st. No matter how bad of a mood you were in their presence always put a smile on my face. He was a wonderful person along with his wife who were always friendly and had a smile on their face. His smiling face and his presence will be greatly missed.
