J.J. IS SO GREATLY MISSED BY HIS BEST PALS SANTANA, SPANKIE, TEDDY, AND WOOKIE...
HIS "INDEPENDENCE" (OR STUBBORNNESS) DESPITE HIS HEALTH ISSUES WAS CERTAINLY AN INSPIRATION TO US ALL. WE WOULD FIND J.J. WORKING ON HIS CARS, SPLITTING WOOD, CLEANING HIS YARD, ETC. GIVE HIM A CHAIN SAW AND "WATCH OUT TREES". HE WAS VERY ACTIVE AND STILL WENT CAMPING, FISHING, AND A RENEWED LOVE FOR HUNTING. HE WAS TOTALLY COMMITTED TO HIS WORK UNTIL THIS ILLNESS BEGAN AND IMPAIRED HIS MOBILITY. HE WAS A DEDICATED FAMILY MAN. HIS WIFE , CHILDREN AND GRAND KIDS WERE HIS LIGHT. J.J. WAS AN EXCELLENT AUTO MECHANIC AND CO-OWNER OF SANTA FE BRAKE AND AUTO FOR MORE THAN 25 YEARS.
OUR FAMILY WOULD LIKE TO EXTEND A SINCERE THANK YOU TO THE ENTIRE STAFF AT THE FRESENIUS DIALYSIS CENTER, THE P. M. S. HOSPICE CENTER, CHRISTUS ST. VINCENT HOSPITAL, AND ALL HIS CAREGIVERS THROUGH OUT HIS ILLNESS. AND A VERY SPECIAL THANK YOU TO SAM, HIS BROTHER, BUSINESS PARTNER, AND BEST FRIEND FOR ALWAYS BEING THERE FOR HIM AND SUSIE.
