I will always remember Papa making us breakfast in the morning when we visited and always being eager to go to the casino with Mama to get donuts after getting a big win! We will all miss you so much! Love you :)

I remember Papa giving me his "brown rice" one time when I visited and he was always a pretty chill grandpa.  Love you!

Papa... I was very blessed to have you as my father in law. I see a bit of you in Jon everyday. You were always and will continue to be his role model in life. We miss you so much already. Play some slots for me!!!

Love you papa... rose

Papa was and will always be one of the most gentle people I know. One thing I will always remember him as is being an amazing cook. When I was little I was always so intrigued by the recipes he would cook for us that he made during his time in the military. 💗

I remember papa when he was at my birthday when I was a kid at around 6. Papa and Mama came to watch a me operate a remote race car. I had a great time with him. Papa always made me feel happy when every time I sat on his lap. 

One of my favorite memories of Papa was when we went fishing. He had let the lines sit for a little bit and waited for the fish to bite. While we waited he had decided to feed the pigeons and then he scooped up one of them. I was both surprised and confused until I saw what he was doing. He was cutting the fishing line that had tangled around the poor pigeon’s foot and then he let it go. I will never forget how kind and aware of others he was, and I will miss him as I’m sure others will too.

Married for 61 years to his one and only.

I remember when I was younger papa would walk with me in the garden to calm me down from crying over having to leave San Diego after visiting him and mama. I will never forget those times. Love you papa!

He loved being  a grandfather to six grandchildren. . .  and loved making them laugh.

Joselito was a veteran who fed many hungry sailors during his days of a 20-year service. His family would visit whenever he came back from deployment.

Joselito was a gentle, loving person who loved his life.

They loved celebrating his birthdays. . . He, in return, loved every single happy minute!
