Jose was a hardworking man. He worked for Boon Pickens at Mesa Petroleum for many years. At the age of 93 he was still out working on his pick-up. He was an outdoorsman; he loved to be out working in the yard or swimming and traveling. Jose was always willing to help. Jose and Victoria had seen some people that just needed some help. Jose put them up in his house for a few days, gave them a shower, shave and a change of clothes. That’s the type of person Jose was. He was a very patient man. He would get lost in time working on watches. He repaired clocks and watches for Amarillo School District, Duncan and Boyd Jewelers.
