Jose proudly served his country in the United States Army during the Vietnam War from 1967-1970. Jose, a carpenter, a mechanic, and a gentleman. He was known for his resilience, honesty, hard work ethic and dedication to his family. Jose was an exceptional carpenter, from building homes to silly contraptions. Along with his carpentry skills he was a mechanic by profession. His mastery in mechanics ranged from airplanes to lawnmowers and he enjoyed helping family with home repairs. Jose also enjoyed spending time with his family at camp to fish and relax by the river. His love for his wife and family was shown by everything he did from supporting our decisions, fixing and building things to instilling the importance of family traditions.
He will be missed terribly but will always be here with us in spirit and in our hearts and memories.
