My dear sweet family,  
Life can often be difficult, it's so hard to explain why all of us must go through times of sadness, times of pain...I ask you to treasure your memories and remember also that there are many hands ready to help you in any way you need, and throughout this time, sweet sister, you'll keep in mind one thing...
There's nothing that can take away the joy and the love you feel, that your Joseph brought you, and to so many others. Please remember, Our loved ones who meant so very much to us, are never truly gone they will live on in cherished thoughts in us always. 
Martie, from the day you and Joe were married, I have always thought of Joe as my brother, and I have always been so proud  to say so. I will miss him and I will smile every time I think of our family gatherings, from little talks, whether they were big or small, or going out for In N' Out or bring it home to eat. Larry told me how much he enjoyed playing golf with Joe and how he wanted to do it more often.  Remember the Psalm of David...The Lord is my shepherd...and HE will be with you. I love you my sweet family and GOD bless you all.


Pawpaw - I don’t even know where to start this, I’ve even sat here two times now trying to write it and couldn’t. Now it’s the night before the funeral and I have to force myself to, so here it goes. I want to start off by saying how much of a important part of my life you were to me. I didn’t really grow up with a grandfather figure so to have you there to be that for me and my full brother Kobe when Janet came into our life, was everything to me. I looked up to you in so many ways, mostly the way you loved your wife. You and nannaw had a love that I looked up to growing up, and even though you were taken away from her to soon I know you will be with her every day of her life still, alongside her, guiding her as usual. I honestly wasn’t expecting this not that anyone was ... not that you even were... I just thought I had more time... time to have you at my wedding... time to see you with my kids... it’s okay though because I know you will be there every step of the way. I want to leave this off by saying thank you for Janet ... I don’t know where I’d be today if she didn’t meet my dad. She is an amazing stepmom, although I don’t think of her that way it’s more like an older sister or even as my real life birth mother. Also I wouldn’t have my half brother Kai if it wasn’t for her. He is my whole heart he may not know it but literally he is my whole world. All of it comes down to “If it wasn’t for you...” so thank you. I love you and I’m going to miss you heavily. Rest in paradise pawpaw I’ll see you again soon<3 -Kira R.

Martie, you’ve been my best friend since kindergarten, and I had the pleasure of meeting your sweet Joe at your wedding 50 yrs ago. He made an impression way back then because I could see how much he loved you! You’ve raised a family with such love and support as you worked so hard together as a team. Jim always loved our times together—saying “that Joe is one great guy!” We will forever remember your soulmate, our friend, Joe. Until we’re together again . . . Sally & Jim   p.s.  Joe, we’ll always be here for Martie ❤️

My fondest memories of my nephew Pepe are as a baby. I was the baby sitter in the 50s. He was a happy, lively baby with beautiful curly black hair. 
I'll remember our conversations where he was more a listener than a talker. He was always kind to me, and polite.
Our last conversation was several months ago. He was as polite as ever, we talked, laughed of various world affairs and we said goodbye.
I will always recall this conversation because his last words were, i love you" and various warm memories i have of him and his love for his wife and family.
I hope you can see this cherished photo I've had for many years of Pepe as a teen, 1963, either he gave me or his mom. 
Love and Blessings,  

Aunt Tina 

As a neighbor of Joe, I saw him as a sweet, kind, and gentle man. As I go through all the pictures you see him as a wonderful father and husband, very loving family. He did have a full life. My condolences and love to his beautiful family, Love, Debbie Wells

Joe was our good friend and neighbor for 43 years.  We watched as he took care of his family, sometimes struggling to make ends meet, but always proud and humble, honest and reliable.   We helped each other in whatever way we could.  Actually, we asked for Joe's help a lot, like watching our house and picking up our mail when we were away, sewing covers for our motorhome and accessories, mending heavy materials, making a motocross outfit for our grandson, and the list goes on.  He never wanted monetary compensation for his work.  We loved Joe and will miss him.  

Marty & Family, 
I’m so sorry to hear about Joe, I met him years ago & he was a fine young man then, before you were married,  a Wonderful Man he turned out to be!!!
I’ll be praying for you all & remember you have so many memories of Joe!!
Love you all!!

Debbie
