elevated SmdjQ Joe worked as a dock manager for over 20 years at waterpark place.  He also worked countless cleaning jobs his whole life. He loved movies, music, and his family. This man was always taking care of his loved ones everyday, no matter what.

elevated SmdjQ Someone once asked  “why do you work so hard” we respond so quick to say, “because I am my fathers daughter.”

elevated SmdjQ Jose was such an empathetic soul. If he saw a loved one crying, he would surely cry too. He felt what they were feeling, and would do whatever he could in that moment to help however he could.

elevated SmdjQ See, do not pray for his place in heaven, because his spot has been most definately granted. We pray for him to watch over us and to be reunited one day in heaven.

elevated SmdjQ FAMOUS QUOTES:

elevated SmdjQ “Money talks, bullshit walks.” If you knew our dad, you knew he should have had this tattooed across his chest.  I swear he said this in his sleep once.

elevated SmdjQ The sad reality of this saying is “only money will do, the rest of it is bullshit.” Papa Joe worked endlessly day in, day out. Why? Theres too many reasons why. The top reasons being his golden heart, and empathetic soul.

elevated SmdjQ Now is his time to rest in peace. We will miss you, dad, every hour of everyday.
