Jose dedicated his life to his family, forever showing his love and pride for them. You would find him on any sideline cheering them on and also yelling his head off to "get in the game " or to "buy a ticket if you're not going to play." He was hard on the kids during sports but loved them even harder. His infectious smile, his laugh, his hugs and kisses will be missed by all of his children, wife, mother, father and brother.
We cannot forget his second family, Valley Baptist Medical Center, who knew him for being the jokester while at work but more so for his exceptional care and leadership as a registered nurse for 23 years. His motto at work was "sink or swim." Everyone knew if Joe was working, the crew was in good hands. Thank You to all the VBMC nurses & doctors who cared for and loved my Joe as family
