Joe is survived by his mother Jesusita, wife Ernestina and four sons: Mike Picón of New York City; Mario and wife Melissa of McAllen, TX; James and wife Victoria of Lubbock; Kris Albert and wife Samantha, also of Lubbock. He is also survived by grandchildren Marissa Erin, Zarin Paul, Meagan Leigh and Marinda Lynn and by one great-grandson Aaron Lee.
