We are so sorry to hear about Joe. He always love to stop and visit with Joe. Would tell The story about Joe and his brothers coming to the Landa Ranch at branding time such a good help.
Ginger Bird says
Sure gonna miss my ‘Ho’ (short for Jose ;)…) and everything about him. He was a good son, great brother, awesome dad, and an unforgettable friend. He lived his life like he wanted to until he couldn’t; we only have one turn at it and he did it on his own terms. Joe was a good bowling partner, dance partner, and had the best shoulder to lean on. If he had a million shirts on his back, he’d give every single one of them away to whomever needed it, no questions asked, and asking nothing in return. There will never be another like ‘Ho’ in our lives. He will be forever in our hearts. My love goes out to the family and hoping quick comfort and peace comes to them.
Ed and Bev Schaffer says
