Joe was born May 18, 1945 in Indio, CA attending Lytle Creek Elementary school, Richardson Junior High School and graduating from Beaumont High School. He is survived by his wife Carmen, six brothers, three sisters, five children and three grandchildren.
Joe loved his family beyond measure. His favorite time was spent with his family, especially Sunday get-togethers with his brothers.
Joe became known for his mechanical knowledge; any question about a car, he could answer. His very first car was a 1953 Ford Crestline cementing his lifelong love of “classic cars” like GTOs and Mustangs (his favorite was a 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback). His real enjoyment came from rebuilding engines; he received seven mechanic certifications and was labeled a “Master Mechanic”. When not working on cars, Joe could be found bodybuilding—he enjoyed working out and made the most out of his two favorite pastimes.
Joe was deeply loved and will be forever missed.
