Jose! Very sad to hear of your passing. With all the medical procedures you endured over the years I was starting to think of you as indestructible.
Although Joe and I unfortunately lost contact with each other these past few years I have many good memories of him and his family. Our families spent many enjoyable hours at each other’s homes for BBQ’s, swimming and so forth. The kids have very vivid memories of hanging out and playing video games with Jackie and Beth - memories which were even brought up during this past Thanksgiving. My most enduring memories though are undoubtedly those many times we’d hang out on either of our back patios just talking and enjoying the sun, the kids playing in the pool, and maybe even a cigar and cold beer or two ;)
Joe was a good egg and a good friend. He worked hard and cared about others. That became even more apparent during his stint as acting department manager. It was a job he did not take lightly and others benefited from his approach to it.
One of the things that stands out prominently in my memory of Joe(other than all his accidents and broken bones over the years) was his incredible memory. It’s no exaggeration to say that he could and often did recount the stroke-by-stroke details of a 10 or 20 year old golf game to include the detailed weather and even the color clothes worn by his fellow players - simply amazing.
Well Joe, I wish we hadn’t lost touch and I could have heard a few more golf stories. All the broken bones and pain are finally behind you now. I hope you’re on one big beautiful golf course after another hanging out with golfing legends, trading stories, taking pain free shots and making many a hole-in-one, and of course - having a cigar and cold beer or two…
Rest in peace my friend,
Steve
