My condolences to the family! I just found out about Joaquin's passing. I met him while at Lamar Jr. High and later on, while waiting for the bus to to go to Martin High school, he would give me a ride. I'll never forget how he would always tell me Esas ancias te van a matar. Rest in peace amigo

Corina and family, Please accept my sincere condolences on Joaquins passing. Our life-long friendship is filled with great times from our school years to the years at LNB and many many rounds of golf. Joaquin, the kid, in school, the co-worker at LNB and the long driving golfer remained the same Joaquin. Appreciated his friendship and many cups of coffee where we shared stories of our lives and families. He loved his family and I know he will be missed most of all by his family but also by the many friends he forged over the years. If I had to describe Joaquin in one word, “straight-shooter,” says it all. As we all age and deal with recurring health problems brought on with age, keep a spot open for me on the foursome in the sky. Rest in eternal peace.
