Jose was lost to us on the morning of July 25th. Jose had suffered a heart attack (his second) in February and despite making great changes in his diet, weight and exercise routine, the damage had been done and he could not recove Read Obituary
My brother Jose…. I called him Joe Bird, was the kindest, sweetest man I know.
As a child…whenever he was served tater tots at school, he would wrap them up in a paper towel and save them for our mom. Disgusting but very sweet.
Just this last Christmas… Joe showed up to our Noche Buena with a bag from The Dollar Store. He had purchased headbands that lit up and necklaces that looked like Christmas lights.
That was Joe. He loved getting together and loved his family soooo much.
We always felt it.
He’s with our mom now having many laughs and hopefully rum and cokes.
We loved him, even though he was a Seminole. He will be missed.
Derek Parsons and family.
Stacy and family, Owen and I are saddened by the news of Joe's passing. He was always so nice to us, fun to be around at the family gatherings and you could tell how much he loved his family. We know there are no words that can comfort you but hope you find strength within your friends and family in the hard days ahead. Our thoughts are with you and your family.
Owen and Peggy
My family grieves the loss of our Joe, our bright light, our head of the family, our fireworks extravaganza master, our joy of the party. My Uncle Joe was my favorite human and will always be in my heart. He might not have realized that he was a father figure throughout my entire life… a constant that never wavered. Not only was he funny and extremely generous, but consistently there and always genuine. My Uncle Joe never had anything but a smile on his face. I remember when he’d go get loaves of Cuban bread for parties and when eating, would leave crumbs everywhere. Not only was he the best uncle, he was an incredible Dad, Husband…. and brother for my Mom Elsa and uncles. The hole left in our family will be long-lasting, but his memory will be forever. I wish I could tell Joe one more time how much he meant to me and that I love him so much. I will be looking for him in the fireworks. I hope he is with Abu watching over us and guiding us.
