A very loyal friend and a real patriot. Joe was a Charter Member of the Alamo City Community Marching Band. Always reported early, was ready to perform. He was very talented. Joe loved playing American Military March Music. May God Bless You Forever.
Our deepest condolences, Joe was a wonderful, happy spirited man who loved everyone and enjoyed music and fun. He will be greatly missed. Rest in peace Joe and may you continue to play your drum in heaven. We will never foret you.
Joe was a good friend and fellow volksmarcher. I will miss him of the trail. We also enjoyed reading most of the same authors so we had that in common, too. His career in the U. S. Navy is worthy of a big ‘Thank You’ from all of us who love our country and our freedom. Thank you, Joe, and may the Face or the Lord shine upon you. Godspeed.
