We sure will miss sharing food, musical serenades, groan-worthy jokes, and always a nugget of spirituality aiming towards God around the kitchen table with our wonderful Uncle Joe. What a legacy he left for his children, grandkids and great-grandchild! Tita Gloria and cousins, we are sending abrazos and besos from Arcata. We love you.
